I had surgery June 10th, so I'm only 9 days out still on liquids. The experience was ok, but painful. I think I was allergic to the surgical tape he uses because 2 of my incisions are infected and my belly has been itching like crazy. Other than that, I would be really good by now. I love his staff. Dana has been helping me through this rash, itching, and infection. As of yesterday I'm down 14 pounds since surgery last Monday.

Awesome,,,,I am in his office now doing my 3rd of the 6 visits required by my insurance. 3 more months to go. Just wish it would hurry up and get here. You sound like you had a good experience except for the rash. I have heard a lot of ppl lately say they had a rash that lasted a cpl weeks after surgery. Dana is great!!!! She will take good care of you. Keep me updated!!!

You too! I've actually been trying to call her this morning. Must be busy in there today!

They were busy today and I was there longer than normal. Just glad it is over and just a few more months.

I'm planning to use him as well. I went to a class a few years ago but insurance wouldn't cover me. Now, I've resolved to being a self-pay and will going to another class Tuesday to update myself on their program. I'm not sure what THAT will cost until Tuesday...anyone happen to know? :)

The information sheet that I got when I went to his seminar says 14,000 for self pay for the sleeve.

Thanks Sun! I appreciate that. I can't dare think about how impatient I will be as the time gets closer for me. I can't even wait five days for bits of info!
