Dr. DeBarros Bander

Hi All!

What a thrill to see Dr. DeBarros patients here! I had my lapband surgery on June 4th. Am doing better everyday, tho, I still am sore around the port area. On the 21st, I went on an Alaskan cruise with my friend who just finished up chemo. We had a ball, and WHAT A THRILL to say to the stewards at dinner, "Oh, the appetizer was delicious but I am full!" Never in my life have I said THAT before. I have lost 37 pounds:whoo: so far, but am getting a dose of reality, as I have now flown to Indiana as my dad passed away while I was on the cruise. :cry I have always been an emotional eater, so this is a real test. :faint:Would enjoy hearing from you all. blessings, debbie

Congratulations on the band and I am very sorry to hear that you lost your Dad. Hang in there and try to keep yourself busy. This may help with the emotional eating that you may be going through.
