  1. i do too im one of his riverside pantients ... i love his staff the office and him
  2. I got banded may 7th . I am doing ok ... i dislike the scar above my belly button it has "dissolvable stiches i guess but one is sticking out of the skin " have any of you had this problem? I have lost weight already .. : ) last time i got on the scale i had lost 25 lbs since the week before the surg ... but i havent been on a scale in 2 weeks ... oh the other thing is maybe some older bansters can answer when u suck in your stomach will ur scars always go in ?? ... its weird ... I have made so many high protien, low fat low sugar mushy foods its not funny... my mom and i think we are going to make a Mushy food cookbook which is high protien low fat and has only 0-2 sugars per meal and everyone in my family is trying my food and htey are saying this tastes goooood ... lol .. the first pic where im in black,grey and white shirt is 2 weeks after surg ... the other is srta a before pic
  3. i got approved within a month ... my surg is friday ... i have scolosis but other then that and the weight i am extreamlly healthy ... but i fought for it ... i was a pain in everyones butts so yea ... u may need to appeal but if this is what you want then fight for it. I wnet in told my dr what i wanted then went and got the blood work he wanted me to get done and he refered me to a surguon because i did all the research knew bout the surgery was proavtive on my part. So yep my actually surgury is 4-7-10
  4. i got my date, that is it it is a week from friday
