Davis

Thanks for the request! Glad to see you are doing well on your diet. I hope to have as much discipline, lol. I'm practicing and it's not too hard now, but, when I absolutely have to do it, may be another story, lol. Mardi Gras is a mess, lol. Kids love the parades though. They love to catch the beads and so does their daddy, lol!

I have lost 39 pounds so far.. and I am getting my first fill this week- I think Thursday- so i hope for it to kick up the loosing pass again- I have slowed down a bit the past week but I dropped 3 pounds yesterday- so I think it is picking up I know I need more restriction. And my doctor will probably clear me for more exercise and weight training so that should help too- honesty I need to get out and walk more---its just soo darn cold - So I think you said he would be back in spring / summer I would guess you would be down at least 50 pounds by then...good luck

We dont get too much snow these days but it sure gets cold! Ill take snow over hurricanes any day,lol.

I'm certain your surgeon will advise you as to the best procedue for your situation. The numbers I looked at showed the complication rate as being the same for VSG or Lap-Band. And in terms of recovery, I spent one night in the hospital, was off pain meds in 2 days, and back at work on day 6. Could have worked on Day five, but it was a Monday and I had to have "clearance" from the surgeon to work. This has been a piece of cake really, and I'm lots older than you.
