Looking forward to starting my weight loss surgery.

no questions as of yet, I might have some as thing progress.
I'm on the liver reduction diet now, getting used to being hungry.
The nurse called it "head hunger"......lol
I'm having the bypass, something I never thought I would have.
But, it needs to be done, everything else has failed.
Thanks for the support.

Hi Scarlette,
I too decided to go with the RNY rather than the lap band and am using Synergy Bariatrics as well! I am both excited and scared, I have my first appointment with Dr. Caruana on May 13th. I decided to have the procedure done open vs lap so that Dr. Caruana can do it, my girlfriend that I worked with used Dr. Pham and is four years out, still looking and feeling great... she is down 160 from a high of 310... definately inspiration... what date did you meet with Dr. Pham for the first time?

My original date was March 9, but was canceled because I had more testing to do.
Once the testing was done, this date came pretty fast.
Dr Pham is awesome, and I am so ready for this.
Keep us posted on your progress.
