Thanks

The guy at Northshore LI Jewish Hospital, Dr. Geiss I think, has done almost 2000 of them.

elisa,

You are going ahead with it. Good for you! I am down 94 pounds so far! Yes there are things I miss, but it is worth it! Good Luck!

That's funny do you have any kids in the commack schools? I have one at woodpark and one at middle school. How are you doing with the band?

my three children graduated from Commack High School. Wonderful school system. I know that the lap band has been the best thing in the world for both myself and my husband. After years of struggling with weight loss and weight gain etc. This has been a good journey. Some days are harder than others but we support each other and that certainly helps. good luck on your journey - contact me any time.
