Hi Dan! Thanks for thinking about me,the folks on this website give a lot more support than the actual support group at the hospital. I am glad that you had a good experience w/ Dr. Owens. I have a feeling that you had surgery while he was still in his prime. I'm not sure if you've seen him lately but he seems very old and fragile since he had spinal surgery a few months ago(he has to use crutches or ski poles to walk) that might have something to do with what happend to me during my surgery, not sure but I have definately had a much different experience w/ him.It actually took me a lot longer to get over it than I thought! Oh well, it's over now and I just have to concentrate on making this work now.Thanks again for the support!

Gaby,how the heck did you lose 41 lbs in 1 month??? I'm so jealous. I had the band on 1/19/09 and have only lost 8 lbs since. Can you give me some tips (what & how much do you eat?/exercise?) way to go!!!
