It has been a while since I have posted but it has been 3 months since my surgery and I have lost a total of 63 pounds. I have learned that me and my companion (my lapband) have to take it one meal at a time. I have learned that I am no better then an alcoholic and don't think I will be quick to judge alcohol or drug abusers again. I am not going to lie and say I have been 100% low carb I have gone off the wagon and indulged...but as soon I as get my fix (isn't this a horrible word) I start my program all over again. I am determined that I AM going to SUCCEED. Thanks for listening!!!!!
Always ~

Dr. Cywes v. Dr. Baptista, Jacksonville, FL (Long Post)

Hi... Dr. Baptista did my surgery on October 21st......it would not have mattered which Doctor did the surgery because I have the upmost respect for each of them. I have known Dr. Cywes longer and have a lot of admiration for the work he does with obese adolescents. I don't think it is possible to go wrong with either doctor. 54lbs and counting!!!!!! Annie -

Both Doctors are really good. They have two totally different personalities. Dr. Cywes does a wonderful job making you mad but that only makes you want to do well and prove him wrong. Dr. Baptista has a great bedside manner. I personally don't think you could go wrong with either one of them. -
Hello Everyone...I am very excited about my upcoming LapBand surgery...I do have one concern...I am highly allergic to iodine and all the protein drinks (Slim Fast, Adkins etc that my surgeon recommends for a supplement) have iodine in them. Any suggestions??
