Thanks Tina! I asked you a questions on another thread because I thought it had said you had the surgery 5/2010 rather than December 5th and I was concerned when I saw that you had only lost 25lbs since May! Now I see I was mistaken. Still though, how are things going now for you though. Are you finding that you have to diet pretty strictly to keep losing?

Hi Turtle2741! Just curious, have you been satisfied with your weight loss? You seem to be one of the ones who has had the surgery the longest and I am wondering if you're finding it easier to lose weight that before the surger.

I am scheduled for GPS with Dr. Ortiz on the 16th! I am planning on starting pre op on the 7th of February, right after my 30th birthday. I can't remember what I am supposed to do with the nine day pre op diet!

How are you doing now? What is your weight loss, any more complications?

Hi Lena! I am having the GPS with Dr. Ortiz on the 16th of February and I am wondering if you were happy with him. Any complications after surgery?

I'm having mine done on the 15th of Feb so keep me posted on how you're doing!

So.....I am scheduled for the surgery on February 16 and so excited although I can't help but wonder if this, like everything else I've tried, won't be successful for me. I saw that many of you have had your surgery a month ago or longer and I'm just wondering what kind of results you are seeing. I keep reading that this is "a tool and not a magic wand" but part of the reason I am having this surgery is because I have been unable to use "tools" in the past. Can anyone tell me if you find it easier to exhibit willpower with the plication or is the struggle the same as it was before? Any advice is so appreciated!!!!
