jenn20 0 Posted April 12, 2011 I am 7 months post op and Dr. Taller was my surgeon as well. He's super nice! Make sure you are strict with your Protein intake and overall liquid especially well in the hospital. And make sure u walk a lot! It all depends in how fast you are out of there. It's an experience I will never forget. Good luck! 2 more days for u! Keep us updated! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

smokey45 1 Posted April 13, 2011 Hello everyone. I have been on here for a week and I love the support everyone is giving each other. I.am scheduled for June 10th with Dr. Tribetti here in new jersey. I here he is one of the best. It's being done at Hackensack hospital which is the absolute best. I am counting down the days to the road to a healthy life. I also can't wait to be able to go into a store and buy a pair of paints without them.saying "we don't carry your size but we can order them. Thanks and good luck to everyone.
