Jhconnection 36 Posted June 19, 2013 I had surgery June 10th, so I'm only 9 days out still on liquids. The experience was ok, but painful. I think I was allergic to the surgical tape he uses because 2 of my incisions are infected and my belly has been itching like crazy. Other than that, I would be really good by now. I love his staff. Dana has been helping me through this rash, itching, and infection. As of yesterday I'm down 14 pounds since surgery last Monday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just wish it would hurry up and get here. You sound like you had a good experience except for the rash. I have heard a lot of ppl lately say they had a rash that lasted a cpl weeks after surgery. Dana is great!!!! She will take good care of you. Keep me updated!!! Gretta Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gigih 2 Posted June 26, 2013 I'm planning to use him as well. I went to a class a few years ago but insurance wouldn't cover me. Now, I've resolved to being a self-pay and will going to another class Tuesday to update myself on their program. I'm not sure what THAT will cost until Tuesday...anyone happen to know?

Gigih 2 Posted June 27, 2013 Thanks Sun! I appreciate that. I can't dare think about how impatient I will be as the time gets closer for me. I can't even wait five days for bits of info! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
