Thanks Michael. I saw your post on my profile. I was banded on May 19th, 2009. Things have been going very well. The only complication is that my surgeon found a hernia on Wednesday when I went for a fill. He is doing the hernia repair next week and he is going to move my port because my port is close to the hernia... but other then that.. I feel GREAT!! I got your friend request on FB too.. i will be keeping up with you and don't hesitate to email me at untfluter@comcast.net if you have any questions....

Thank you so much for the kind words.. I'm glad to know that I am an inspiration to you.. I have been banded since May 19, 2009 and it was the best thing for me and I would do it again in a heart beat... Good luck next week.. please let me know how you are doing.. feel free to email me at untfluter@comcast.net and we can talk more.. if you use any messenger, feel free to IM me on yahoo at bbwfluter@yahoo.com

Your pic caught my eye.. are you a flutist?? I am... I have my degree in Music Education.... feel free to email me at untfluter@comcast.net

Hey.. your post caught my eye because you stated you saw a Dr. in Grand Prairie.. I went to high school in GP... do you live near/in Grand Prairie??

ok.. I got my degree from Univ of North Texas... I always thought I wanted to be a band director.. because of my jr high band director... secondary was also my only choice as a wind player.... so when I did my student teaching, I realized that I was not comfortable on the podium AT ALL.... I wish I had more training in the elementary music pedogogies, etc... I would have loved to have gone in to elementary music. I spent some time teaching privately, working w/some wind sections w/some local high schools and also played in some community bands and orchestras... problem is that I am in south Florida and most of the community groups rehearse during the weekday.. when I can not be there... let's chat more, I'd love to connect w/a fellow musician and flutist... I am on yahoo messenger at bbwfluter or you can email me at untfluter@comcast.net Look forward to hearing from you.

ok.. I joined the musical bandster group and your avatar caught my attention.. I too am a flutist... I have my degree in Music Education... unfortunately I am not using it at the moment... :-(

I was banded on May 19th and since May 4th when I started my 2 wk pre-op liquid diet I have lost 55.5 lbs... I have lost 43.5 since the surgery plus the 12 lbs I lost pre-op... you will do great... just remember, you may not get much restriction until you have had several fills...so don't get discouraged...

Hi there.. I'm a fellow Dr. Wizman patient... from his Margate office...I would like to connect w/other Wizman patients... feel free to email me at untfluter@comcast.net

Good luck Jim! I was banded on May 19th by Dr. Paul Wizman at Northwest Medical Center in Margate. I have lost 43.5 lbs since my surgery and a total of 55.5 since the 2 wks before my surgery when I started the pre-op liquid diet. This is the best thing I could have ever done for my health and my life. Keep in touch and let me know how your surgery goes!!

Hi Jim... Do I assume correctly by your handle that you are in S. Florida? I am in S. Florida and I was banded on May 19th... if you are in S. Florida, who is your surgeon???

Thank you for the words of encouragement. I am enjoying this journey of mine and I am so happy I did the surgery. I love my surgeon and I am excited to see what the future holds for me.
