Hi Robin,
I'm a neighbor who lives in the Lawbg. area also and wanted to wish you the best of luck! Dr. C is the BEST! I had lap band on 8/5/05 and am down 67 lbs. This past Sunday, I developed an umbilical hernia and needed immediate surgery. Dr. C admitted me on Sunday and worked me in his busy surgery schedule for Monday. I'm home and feeling much better!~ Are you going to attend the support group meeting on Jan 12th? If so, I'll see you there. I know the pre surgery diet is tough, but it gets much easier after the surgery. I'll keep you in my prayers and just email me if I can do anything for you!
Your sister in the future land of the lean,
Rhonda R.
