I used dr marc neff he has meetings once a month he does all of his fills by flurio and its very percise. I havnt meet anyone that had band failure. feel free to email me

hey Im from SJ too !!! i just got the band done Dec 13th 2010 I asked my doctor about the sleeve and band. i have meet a lot of people who had the bypass and gained ALL of the weight back. i wanted the sleeve but was wayyy to scared back then... now i kind of wish i did it...but i am doing well... not at good as some but who had it the same time as me but i have only had 2 fills and they were small...i am going back for a fill this month. good luck and you can always email me amyloveslou@yahoo.com best of luck.... when is the date ? amy

I had a friend who i meet through my docs office who got the sleeve the same day as i got the band we were in waiting room together and recovery room together and in the same room afterwards... we were about 20 lbs diffrence before surgery she has hit her 100 lbs loss at 6 months and i did not.... my doc says the band is a much slower rate then the sleeve. i was too scared of the sleeve at the time but with all of the stuck food and sliming I would have the sleeve done if I had the chance. I am very happy with what I have lost so far but its a lot harder then the sleeve good luck !!! Amy

I didnt tell anyone until 2 weeks before the surgery. i worked at a school and we were going onto Christmas break so I knew i was going to work my butt off so when i got back to work everyone would notice....i did and it was great. then i swiched job to a catering business... I told my boss only because he wanted me to try everything from the kitchen and so then word got out and they watch everything i pull out of my lunh box. I find it keeps me acountable and when I swich out my uniforms every 2 weeks for a smaller size they are right there to ask what size are you now??? I can say I had to have this done due to my BP I was on 5 rx's a day and it was still over the stroke level.....2 weeks after the band I am off everything but a Water pill... I dont care who knows or what they say this was a LIFE saver for me and I would do it again ..... I let them ask me questions till they are blue hoping that maybe I can help someone with the info...I have one supervisor man 26 who is very stupid and cant understand why i would do this to myself (stupid) but I am so happy with me !!!! first time in a LONG time..................<3<3<3 Amy

amy checking in early...have to work the rest of the week so did it today... 219... I played with this number the whole month of june so for next week anything under will be a blessing......I only worked out 3 times this month so its all on me but when you work 12-16 hrs days on your feet its very hard to work out after that......i lift 50 lb bags of ice 15 times a day that has to account for something good luck to you all..... amy
