birder I.
I have been overweight all my life and have done everything everyone else has. I decided to have the lapband surgery when a close friend had it and has done well. Previously I was afraid I was too old (63). I went to Madison to UW and Dr. Garren and have been quite impressed with the whole program. It is a Center of Excellence which made a big difference to my insurance company. I am now three weeks past surgery and have lost 36 lbs. More than that, I have so much more energy! I think the protein really helps.
