Congratulations Tammy! I'm almost 2 months out and I feel great. Weight is coming off consistently on a weekly basis. No complications to report. I think Dr. Choi is an expert but bedside manners need to improve a bit. Strax called me within 24 hours post surgery. Hope you're doing well. I encourage you to also join the youtube.com weight loss community - very informative! :thumbup:

My surgery took place on June 11, 2010 at 7:15am and by 10am I was heading home and felt great. I didn't need any rest until midnight. Dr. Vazquez, the anesthesiologist was wonderful. Linda the RN was awesome. I did Clear Liquids only and wasn't hungry. I didn't experience any pain until 3am when I had some cramps on my left shoulder from the gas. I took half a Darvocet and felt great. The following day went to a family BBQ.:thumbup:

I had my lap band surgery on June 11, 2010. On Tuesday, July 6, 2010 I had my first fill. Everything went well and faster than what I thought. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Best of luck on your weight loss journey!:thumbup:

Hi Rubio5:

I'll be rooting for you on May 14th!!! My surgery is set for June 11, 2010 at Strax in Soouth Fl with Dr. Michael Choi. They're charging me $11,500. How much is your surgery?

Thanks,
