My insurance company gave me the ok....in 6 months!! I have to do a 6 month doctor supervised diet prior to my surgery date. I am starting next week....I am a teacher, so I will have my surgery in January, when I can the days off. I was very disappointed, but I will go through the hoops to get to the lap prize!

Hi Beth,
I really like Dr. Follwell and am sooooo glad that I had the surgery.

As of today I am down 110 lbs in 15 months and I would do it all again in a heartbeat. Hey my e-mail is andreamcgraw@aol.com. If you want to talk , e-mail me and I'll give you my cell#. I'm always happy to share what I've learned so far.

I had my 9th fill w/ Dr. F last week and he asked me to do a photo shoot for his website , so I did this past Tuesday. That was fun. I've never been noticed for my looks - having been very big all my life , so this is a new experience.
Going2lasvegas , I am a teacher also. I did my surgery in Feb.'07 and took a week off. I was a little tired at first going back, but recovered quickly. Another teacher friend of mine had the band put in in March '08 during spring break and she is doing well also.

Gotta go work at my daughter's basketball game now. If I can be of any help , just e-mail me. I'll be glad to talk.
