CMarie 0 Posted April 6, 2007 This is my first post because I didn’t think I was ever going to get a surgery date after months of Doctors and test and more Doctors and more test. I have been lurking around this site for some time now gathering info and encouragement. It is by far the best site I have found. My surgeon is Dr. Viego Lopez in South Florida he and his staff have been great. I’m more excited then nervous. My sister had gastric bypass 2 weeks ago and tried to encourage me to do the same but I just couldn’t go that route besides it being to scary the recovery time wouldn't work for me with my 11 month old ball of energy. Glad to see other bandsters with the same surgery date as me. CAN'T WAIT Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
