rachnesa 0 Posted July 25, 2009 Hi all: My name is Sumom(alias). I am 39 years old and am having my surgery done at Rush in Illinois next Friday. I'm a bit nervous. Is this really going to work? I weigh over 325 and and have been on the liquid diet for 8 days now. I'm ok now. My sister had it done, she's doing ok and she works alot. I'm wondering how long with diet and excerise how long will it take to see a huge difference? Dr Jonathan Meyers is my Surgeon. He is awesome. Got me approved in just 6 monthsincluding the 3 mos of nutrition classes.As soon as I learn how, I will down load some pics. Any advice?:biggrin::tongue2: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MEL50 0 Posted July 29, 2009 That's three of us for this Friday. I am in Alabama and I know a number of people who have had it done. And yes, it does work. But it is a tool. We still have to make the quality food choices. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
