Hi Marilyn, Sorry I have not written in a while. Guess I have been busy managing my MGB. I had the surgery in June...on the 6th and had lost 50 pounds since then. I certainly look like a new person. When I looked at this picture I had posted I can't believe I was that big. I would like to meet while you are in the area however I will be with my daughter, husband and grand kids in Pine Top from the 6th thru the 13th. Sure hope we can meet next time. Hope you have a great time here in the Valley. Let me know next time you will be around here. Unfortunately, I never get up to Colorado although I would love to. Diane
Hello, I am working on getting my packet done for surgery and was wondering if you would be a patient contact. As a requirement of the packet, I need to ask your name, date of surgery, pre op weight, weight now and any comments you have about the surgery. My name is Stephen Duhon and I am 20 years old and live in Atlanta, Georgia. I have type 2 diabetes and am looking at having the MGB. Please email me with any information at af420balla@aol.com Thank you so much
Side effect are gas and occasional loose bowels. Have to add a few things at a time and see how they sit with my new tummy. Thanks for the words of encouragement. Diane
Hi Marilyn, Surgery went well. I am now learning to deal with the side effects after. Just beginning to add a few other items to my diet to add a little variety. You re doing great. Hope I do as well a year from now. So far I have lost 12 lbs. Guess that is not bad for two weeks. Diane
Hello MGBers. I had my MGB 6/21/06 with Dr.R.. It was the best thing I ever did for myself. To date,5/29/07, I have lost 85lbs. and have gone from a tight size 20 to a size 8/10. I love my new life; I feel like a teenager again, and I am 58 years old. My picture was at my son's wedding 5/19/07. I was so glad not to be FAT at his wedding.
