hi :frown: Congratulations on your success.! you look fantastic! Dr. Bertha is the doctor who will perform my surgery (if i get approved that is). What was your experience with him?

Hello Stacy,

Dr. Bertha is amazing. Let me tell you through him you WILL get approved. He did my mom & step dads bypass and my cousins band like mine. I am in Pa and traveled to Jersey to have him do mine. My port did get infected and had to come out and a new one put in. But even through that he was amazing and straight forward. He is kind and tells it like it is. He was up front with me that I should have the bypass because of how much i had to lose but when I said I wanted the band he said ok and told me that it was my choice and would help me with my journey. You will be very happy and well taken care of. Keep me updated and good luck to you,

Rae

Rae-

Fix the date of your surgery in the box to the left,

YOU DID WELL

I have the lapband.

What impressed me the most is that you did not give up with the infected port. I honestly, being a NON quitter would have fainted and god knows what?

:thumbup:Very Inspirational :biggrin::thumbup:

I have plateaued at 200 and went and get another fill today. Hopefully I can lose at least another 30 to 40 lbs by my birthday next month.

Thanks for any advise you may be able to provide.

Thanks again,

Great! What an inspiring story for those who are planning to undergo Lap-Band Surgery and yet still have doubts on going with it. Anyway, it's a matter of discipline and hard work after that and once you achieve the goal, it's worth it. congrats!
