Folks I was Almost 400 lbs at my heaviest weight! I would eat like I was going to the chair, then diabetes reared it's ugly face. My general physician 1st recommended I try to eliminate bread, pasta,etc... now I am a Italian guy, try telling that to a ginny!!! Obviously that never happened.. he suggested I look into bypass surgery.. that was 2003, I will Not lie, it was a extremely difficult to adapt to but it's mind over matter and you need to stick to it don't give up!! If anyone needs more mentoring hit me up

So did u have a bypass ?

Cazzy... i was wondering the same thing...

Frett... What did you have done? when? and how much have you lost....

what ever it is..... Congrats...

Retracted, I was wrong!!!

I hate sound so skeptical, but I am calling sock puppet.

This poster just joined today and spammed the same thing in 8 different places on these forums, including an email to contact him at. But, he's put 3 different years as his surgery date- 2003, 2005, and 2006.

Sorry but I'm calling sock puppet b*llshit. Likely with some sort of ulterior motive.

Girl, you nailed that one.... goood job.

Sorry I got my years messed up I had band done in 2006 @ Lennox hill hospital in Manhattan by Dr. Kurian before she transfered to Nyu.. so No emailing me would Not lead to a bunch of spam!!

Let me set the record straight.. I was advised by my Dr. at the time to consider the proceedurein 2003, I had the lap band surgery done in 2006, by Dr. Marina Kurian at Lennox Hill Hopsital, on her final day of working there before she transfered to NYU medical center. I am currently now 225 lbs. i was 385lbs at the time of surgery. my waist size was a 44 I now fit in a 34 waist! so again i offer my assistance to those who seek guidance, my email will not lead to a mailbox full of spam!!

slvrnblk77@aol.com is my Email adress anyone who feels the need to challange my honesty PLEASE send me a email so i can prove the doubtful wrong!

Steve
