Looks like a great site for stories, will have more to say next week after surgery. Here we go........

WHOA STEVE-O...Look at you on your computer first thing after surgery~

Good for you.

Soo happy things went well, and you are now well on your way!!!! Congratulations!

I'm happy all went well, including the 10 lb loss LOL !!!!

I go in next week Wednesday 28th, Had all pre-opt test run Monday! Look forward in it, I have stocked up on Liquid Protein drinks

Danno

Hey Danno, keep us posted with your progress.... good luck DUDE !!!!

Where are you going for your operation?

I like EAS Myoplex and I get them at GNC, they have the most nutriants and lowest calories of any. I am sore but keep reminding myself that I am on my way!!!! Good Luck Danno! When will you here from insurance Eileen?? Mine only took a few days and I had an answer.

Going to Albany, Georgia! Dr Joseph Burnette, He has done over 300 Lap Bands with his partner.

Steve, I'm guessing I would have heard by now but the doc was in italy last week and never signed my paperwork b/4 he left. The office clerk said she will call me in a few days or as soon as she hears. Thanks for asking How are you feeling?

Danno, thats teriffic, I'm glad you found a great doctor. If you don't mind me asking, your insurance company approved you with 65 lbs to lose? reason I'm asking is because most insurances say you have to be 80+ lbs over weight with a few health reasons to be approved.

My BMI was 38, As long as your Primary Doctor says, its medically neccessary, it was approved! Weight now 265, probably down to 190 in time, With Diabetes and other Meds, Lipitor and more, It was accepted

Slept like crap last night but took a nice shower and went out for coffee this morning, not too bad considering it's only the second day after surgery!!

Gee Danno, sorry you had all those other problems, but on a good note your gonna be healthy in no time :) Men always drop weight like its Water (well most of them do)...

Steve, good to see your out and about. Are you allowed coffee the next day? WOWEE I love coffee and that would be something hard for me to give up. How many weeks are you off ?

Ahhhh its a beautiful day in Jersey, the sky is just brilliant baby blue, my favorite color.

How is everyone today? I need more coffee and some oatmeal.. BBL

Danno, Is Great ! Had a Atkins shake for Breakfast, I guess I'll get use to these for 6 weeks or so, They do have 20 grams of Protein, 1 gm of Sugar, so It looks much better than Slim fast.

My Doctor said that when I reached the weight of 222, I should be able to come off all medicines, not sure, just a guess at that time.

Danno

They said decaf is ok, any liquid that you can fit through a straw is allowed right now.....but don't use a straw. hmmmmmm anyway.......yes, it's a great day in jersey!!

Best wishes for a speedy recovery. You will be so glad you did this...every day I marvel at how much better I feel and how much easier it is for me to get around...and it's only been nine days since I had my surgery!

Hey Steve, glad to hear you are up and out so quick.

Congratulations!

Where in NJ are you?

Last night Kellymoose tried to PM me but I was away from my puter. If anyone talks to her, please tell her that yes, her family is more than welcome to stay with us during evacuation. Kelly, are you here? Were you serious?
