NEW SURGEON!!!!
on July 3, 2007 1:22 pm

I had my info session with Dr. Ayloo, and it was GREAT!!! I had Dr vitello, but switched because she does the laproscopic gastric-bypass, which is what I am having, versus Dr. Vitello whao onlt does it open. I am a pretty good candidate for the laproscopic procedure because I had my gallbladder removed, and she may just re-open those same for incisions!!  AND I found out, after I have my surgery, they will do a tummy tuck forme , if I have that excess skin, which I know I will!! I am SO READY to make this lifestyle change, it is killing me. I cant wait!!!!

My Story

Hello to all!!!! I am very new here, and I heard about this place from a few people who have had Gastric bypass, as am I very soon.
They were all very successful in thier journey, and I hope I will be as well!!!!
I realized about 3 years ago I was in trouble, while pregnant with my second baby. I hadnt gained that much weight, but I had a slipped disk in my lower vertebrae that KILLS ME!!!!! After his birth, I went on Weight Watchers, lost about 20 lbs, and then gained it ALL back plus an extra 40 lbs!!!! I am one of those people who cannot get on Birth control, because one fo the first things that happen to me is, I gain weight very rapidly. In 2002, after my daughter was born, I developed gallstones, and had to have my gallbladder removed, which was as not as pleasent for meI still have terrible epigastric pain, I hve 2 peptic ulcers, and acid reflux. I also have a heart murmur, and of course high blood pressure(when I was pregnant, my B/P was at a constant 165/120!!) '
I heard about Dr. Viotello, and I am very nervous about this action that  am taking. I know I need to have this done, because I want to have another child, and my current weight is preventing me from doing this( I keep having miscarriages). I also want to be around for my hubby, my kids, my fmily, and I am SO READY for this lifestyle change. I cannot work out, because of the slipped disks in my back cause me great pain, and I love to work out. 
I am looking for people who are like me, even those who are not. I just need some support outside of my family to get through this!!!!!
