Hi-

Just scheduled my LB surgery for 8/29 at Morristown Memorial Hospital with Dr. Abkin. Any suggestions/comments/helpful hints would be GREATLY appreciated. I'd also love to hear about your personal experience with Dr Abkin and Morristown Memorial Hospital. Thanks.

How ya doing lady ??

• well, went to see Dr Abkin 9/16. may need to get an endoscopy in 2 weeks to see what is going on, as I feel crappy. Does anyone else feel like they have a sore throat or a tightening in the lower esophogus ?it is a horrible feeling. It has been 3 1/2 weeks and am still on liquids and full liquids. I want a potato chip!!!!! and a slice of pizza! But I have discovered Marino's Italian Ices in Chocolate-they are my chocolate saviors! now if they only made them in pizza flavor...
  

But seriously...i may need to get the band removed, if they find a problem. By- Pass is not an option for me. But the good news is that I am under 200 lbs for the first time in 10 years!!! Yeah for ME!!!!!

Hi Leslie,

I'm sorry you're feeling so lousy. You had two surgeries right on top of one another, you've been through a lot! I hope each day finds you feeling better and stronger. And take it very slow with the eating...before you know it you'll be back in the saddle. Good luck and please let us know how you're doing.
