I had surgery with Dr. Baptista on November 23, 2010. I have already lost 19 pounds sence the 20th of November, feel pretty good thus far I go back the 20th of December. At that time I hope to be down to 230. My start weight was 252. Congratulations and good luck. I don't get on here much my personal e-mail is berneice@alltel.blackberry.com would love to talk to any bansters through that e-mail, Berneice
