I am a Fire Capt in GA. Been at it for 28 years. After a bad knee surgery I gained 50 pounds and was thinking of retirement. Got banded five weeks ago and lost 25 pounds. Going in next week for a fill. Have not lost anything in three weeks. I feel better now and have been training my crew a lot more lately. They wish I would stay heavy. Just wait till I drop 50 more.

    Hey Heavy, How long before you were back on the job? I've been thinking of just taking 2 weeks before I go back. I havn't had my follow up yet but I'm hoping my Dr will give me the ok.

    I took two weeks off of the rig but felt good after one. I think two weeks is a safe amount of time. Good luck.

    I know of people going to Mexico for about 8,000. They are very happy with the surgery there.
