Hello all I am shirley. i just had my surgery 4/24/06 and so far everything has gone ok. I did have an episode with not chewing my food to its consistancy. The only thing I would like to advise anyone who is considering having this surgery done Just to do it..but expect the day of the surgurey to be hell when u wake up from the operation..U are gonna ask your self " what in gods name did I do?" But a few days later u will be ontop of the world. (hopefully your experience will go as good as mine has.) If anyone has any ?'s please feel free to contact me...Also u must make a serious commintment to yourself about exercising..I started this whole diet at 265lbs ina size 22-24 i am proportioned very well but its been 1 month exactly and i have lost 37 lbs & am in a 20 .. i eat 5-6 2 once meals a day mostly of Protein ...i walk 2.5 miles everyday for 3 weeks i also quit smoking..(hey I an't put the weight on right...lol) and i go to the gym starting yesterday and do the weight & crunches...and tan too..lol. well i look forward to chatting with ya!

I have have to say he made the experience a delight. I recommened him to anyone in CT.He performs his surgery in The Hospital of St Raphaels. The Hospital stay was great I have to say that they treat you so nice and are at your beg & call.
