I was banded by Dr. Adam Glasgow, son of Dr. Arthur Glasgow, but have seen Dr. Arthur Glasgow a few times when Dr. Adam Glasgow wasn't available. He is great! He's experienced, kind, gentle, and caring. Their office staff is great too! They genuinely care for their patients and their success with their LapBands. They provide a great support system for their band patients, both pre and post surgery. Their website is www.massweightloss.com. Check it out for more details. On a scale of 1 to 10, both of the Glasgows are 12's.

I love my band!

Thanks for the info.

What gym do you go to?

I belong to Gold's and Mansfiel Holiday Inn, but I need a budy to get me going. I was a gym rat for a long time, but when I had half my thyroid out, it slooooowed me way down.

I have two boys, one is 21 and the other will be 18 in 10 days. Wow, that is cool you have triplets plus one. I am a twin.

I am going to Wednesday nights group. Are you going? If so, do you want to ride together?

hey, Cheryl! you're not far at all from me!! I pass by there prolly daily, lol!!! soo...no..no nausea...they load you up with all kinds of anti nausea meds...what I did have was pain in my shoulder which passed pretty quickly..they said that was from the anesthesia, and they also inflate your abdomen with gas, so they have room to do the surgery....I was walking around that day. it really wasnt a big deal for me, and I would do it again in a heartbeat....

banded living aint a bed of roses, but realistically, it was the best and safest option. its amazing to me how I dont get hungry, and get really full on a small amount of food.....you have to work at it, though, it is only a tool. I also go to the gym for about 2 hours a day most days, so believe me, this is not the easy way out! stay in touch with Adam, go to support, and work your tool...you'll do great!!

here's adam's email addy adam@massweightloss.com

and here's mine: goldngrll@yahoo.com

feel free to get in touch anytime!!

do you have kids?? if so, you prolly have seen me at the playgrounds....crayzee lookin redhead (well not so crayzee lookin anymore, lol) with triplets plus one...usually chasing some child around the playground, lol!!

Hi,

Well, I am 6 days post op. Finally starting to feel good. Wow, the gas in the shoulder the first night was awfully painful, but resovled by morning. Had to have a hiatal hernia repair adding to more pain in the incisional site. Have been off pain meds for 2 days now. Incisions feel better every day. Glad it is over and looking forward to the future.

Well, I have had enough of staying in. It is 8 days today. One of my incisions really hurt, but they look good. I think I am going to step on scale in a little while. I will go to the support meeting if you want to go. Call me 774-266-0106.

Thanks,

Cheryl

Yahhhhhhhhh!

I stepped on the scale yesterday. I am down 12 pounds in 2 1/2 weeks!!!!!!!!!!!

I have never been able to loose more than 1 pound in 2 weeks. It really works if you follow what they say. I can't wait to go to the gym. I know the weight loss will slow down as I have lost a large amount of weight in the past.
