John Olsofka
Dr Olsafka was very nice and thorough. He took time to talk with me even though they were running behind that day. I am still preop but so far, I have been really pleased.

2 months post op...
on November 20, 2008 8:28 am
and down 45 lbs!!!!!  Woo hoo!!  I am loving my band.  I feel like I eat more like a "normal" person now than I ever have in my entire life.  I am exercising more and am really enjoying that too.  This is the first time I've let myself get excited that just maybe this might work for me.

One month postop
on October 17, 2008 10:40 am
Well, today I am one month post op and life has changed a bit for me.  I am down 34 lbs and am feeling so much better.  I am down lots of inches too.  My BMI went from being something like 53.9 or some thing like that to being in the 40's.  I have not had any problems with my band or eating anything....just eat less.  I am a little nervous about my first fill on 10/28, but I'm sure that will be fine too.

Well, I have battled with my weight all my life and finally decided to do something about it.   I have always been a huge volume eater.  I even remember going out to eat as a little kid and the kid's meals weren't nearly enough.  Anyway, I decided on the lap band and here I am on my second post op day.  My high weight was 334.  I'm feeling good and excited about losing at least half of me.
