I didn't go to dr. allam because i heard bad things, but my sister went to Dr. Mehta in Riverhead/patchogue (she has two offices). She was very happy. I went to Dr. Kazsmarski and Dr. Gabriel in smithtown and I am also very happy with them. If you having any questions about those doctors, just ask anytime.

Good luck with your diet. I think you will lose weight during this diet. I lost 9 pounds in one week doing this. You'll do just fine don't worry. Just stay focused. Food doesn't control you anymore. You control it.

Good Luck...I was banded recently. I'm from Long Island. What doctor are you seeing.?

My surgeon had his partner who is the director of the bariatics department as his assistant during the surgery. When I asked why (pre-surgery), he said it's common practice for them to assist each other. It was very comforting to me, because both doctors came to see how I was the day after surgery (at different time of the day- one morning and one afternoon.) And my surgeon is very skilled. He has been doing it for over 20 year with over 1800 surgeries performed. So, just ask your surgeon all your questions...I'm sure their is a good explaination.

Hi my names is Tannie I live on Long Island (as far east as you can picture ) I work in a group home for develpmentally disabled individuals and I love my job. I like doing arts and crafts and spending time with my nephew. I just began my weightloss journey. My surgery was 9/30...so I'm a newbie. I began my WLS at 250LBS and I hope to get down to atleast 140LBS. Thanks in advance to everyone for their support.You'll be seeing more of me....oh wait LESS of me. LOL:lol:

I'm just reposting to see if my ticker worked

thanks! this is a good thread

Well, I'm going back to work tomorrow. I'm not to sure I'm ready to get back into the full swing of things, but I really don't have a choice. I was lucky to get the week off. I guess that's just how much they need me. lol. Anyway, I'm going prepared with Tylenol and heatpads for my back. I think I should be alright. Wish me luck.

Yes I am on full liquids. I really can't wait for soft food part of the diet. I have so many things in mind to eat. HA HA HA. My back still hurts, but I hope after the second week it will get better. I see my doctor on Wednesday, so I'll bring up the back pain issue and see what he says. Maybe it will shed some light on it for both of us.
