I don't see any reason not to put his number here, but the moderators might. So I'll e-mail you through your profile.

I don't miss beer unless someone else is drinking it. I'm not even about to try a sip after what I've heard. Now if only other cocktails would be hard to handle, because after a stressful week, cocktails have no problem with me. Tho I'm not partaking these days, but I wish they'd hurt or something so I wouldn't feel I was missing them.

I did a lot of research because I take a lot of medication for health issues in addition to IBS. My family physician would not give me a recomendation for the gastric bypass. I am so glad I went with the band. The IBS is actually better. I really think if you try hard to diet you can lose weight quite quickly. I know many people who have had the bypass and now tell me they totally regret it. They wish they had the band. I see Dr. Cudjoe in Alma, MI. I am very pleased with him. He does require $1000, but as your insurance pays, you get it back. To me the safety of the band far outways the faster rate (for some) of the bypass.
