Hello Everyone My name is Vanessa and I had the lap-band surgery done Dec. 19th 2007 with Dr. Spivak. Feeling good, and have lost 25lbs so far. Was also wondering how can I get a weight loss graph like everyone else has?

Talk about a small world. Juliet, I live in Pasadena, but my area is bordline DPISD area. I graduated from DP High in 97. I still have a pretty close friend that lives in Deer Park.

Congrats on your scheduled surgery with Dr. Spivak. He did a great job on me. I also was very comfortable at the hospital and the staff was very helpful answering all my questions and checking on me after surgery. I had to be at the hospital at 7:00am check-in and had the surgery, recovered in my private room after and was out by 5:30pm. I could have stayed longer, but I was ready to go home and continue to recover in my home. The first 2 to 3 nights were a little hard for me to actually sleep. I found out that taking the pain meds right before I went to sleep worked best for me, but I still would wake up in the middle of the night to take it again when I stared to feel a little pain. Please feel free to e-mail me any time if you have any questions! Best Wishes, Vanessa

Kat....yes I am wondering about that ticker. I think that is pretty neat to see.
