Congratulations on your weight loss so far. I have the same Doc as you in Arcadia. I am still waiting for an approval and am working with Linda. I hope to have surgery soon. What was the surgery like and what is it like to wear the port? I need to have some feed back. I have gone to some meetings at Lewis Hall at Arcadia Methodist, but they were the by-pass meetings. Good luck on your journey! ~ Maurine:thumbup:
