I had my surgey on June 22 and I am doing very well, as of June 28 I am down 31 pounds including pre-op diet. Just cannot get enough protien or water in. My surgeons are Dr. Karl Strom and Dr. Joe Barbalinardo. Had the surgey at Bayshore Community Hospital Center for Bariatrics. I don't think I could have found a better group to work with. They are all friendly and took care of all my needs.
