Have you had your gallbladder checked?

My insurance requires that I quit smoking 2 months prior to surgery or they will not cover the procedure, and my surgeon will absolutely not do the procedure on anyone that smokes. Just my 2 cents.

Has anyone here used Dr. Schmitt at St. Vincent's East in Birmingham? I went to his seminar and he seemed to be a very nice and caring man. I have an appt. with him on 6/4/09.

Thank you so much Amy. There is so much to learn and I am anxious to learn, but at the same time it is a lot to take in at one time. I am sure I will be fine, it is just all new to me, as I am sure it was for everyone here.

Thank you so much. The place I went to did not tell me how to get it on my profile. But I cut it, I just don't know how to paste it.

I know this is a silly question, but I have found a ticker and did everything it told me to do, but I cannot figure out how to get it on my profile. Can anyone help? Thanks

Hello everyone. I am new here. I have been reading all of the success stories and it really gives me hope that I have found something that can actually work for me. I have been overweight since I was 17. I have had three children and never really lost the weight from pregnancy and somehow through the years food became my best friend. Well I think it is time I found a new best friend. I look forward to this journey and I love reading other's comments and am anxious to learn about this wonderful process. If anyone out there has any tips or suggestions for me, please do not hesitate to contact. I have just begun, only been to the seminar and have an appt. with the surgeon on 6/4/09. Can anyone tell me what to expect with this first meeting? Thank You.
