Hey!!! I'm at 36lbs in 6 weeks...I have "group" tonight. My first time to this one where there are only bypass patients. Can't wait to see if they have advice. I feel like the losing has slowed already, but I am anxious and paranoid to begin with...lol Roie said you were in pain at first...she said you'll be there on Saturday. I can't wait to talk to you and Barbie. Are you more excited this time around? Is it much different from the lap-band? I can't wait to hear everything. Sorry for not seeing your note sooner...I haven't been on all month yet. I'll leave this up on the screen so I can keep checking.
