My doc was Lee Grossbard. Very good doc and funny. My weight was 300 at my first check in. My doc put me on optifast for 2 weeks and on day of surgery I was 290 I hit the scale this morning and I'm at 277. I had made it to the hospital on 2 different times for this lapband and walked out. My doc was very understanding each time. Finally I tried one last diet did ok and then it came back. So i swallowed my pride seeing how the swallowing is what got me here in the first place. haha so I called him a third time and asked him if he would consider one last chance. He did and I did:nod: . Last night I did sleep better. And yeah the shoulder pain is in my collar bone. I proped myself up and drank alot of maalox plus and this helped.
I can't even begin to tell you guys how good I feel just knowing you guys are out there. I am returning to work today so I'll check in tonight.

Oh Tony, I can't believe you walked out TWICE! How funny! But not, because I totally understand. So glad you made it, and the poundage is falling off! Follow that post-op diet to the T. It's important for healing. Loads of water! Hang in there! The gas pain doesn't last forever, promise! Good job!

I know it is a pretty funny story. Went to work today just a little pain, but a pretty good day.

I'm glad you 'swallowed it down' and were able to do what you felt would be right for your health! Now comes the real fun parts eh?
