I was recommended to Dr. Vohra, by my PCPs NP - Peggy. I have been batteling weight issues for the past five years. I was never overweight and didnt have health issues until 2005. I was diagnosed with PCOS and put on Metformin. I have fluctuated from anywhere from 150 - 216 lbs. Finally this past spring highly frustrated i started researching Lap-Band. A few friends of mine had the operation done, and have had amazing results. I want to get back to living a healthy lifestyle, so i finally made my decision. I have PCOS, Sleep Apnea and I am borderline diabetic. I am hoping that the Lap-Band procedure will safely and sufficently remove the weight gain and bring me back to the healthy person i was before. I started at 211 lbs wheni went to see Dr. Vohra. I was put on the pre-op optifast diet on August 11, and was suppose to get my surgery on August 24. I ended up coming down with a case of poison ivy and had a sever allergic reaction so surgery was postponed to September 6th. I am currently 2 days post op and I do NOT regret making my decision. I am looking forward to the next upcoming months :) Good luck to my fellow bandsters and if your reading this post op and are experiencing pain - WALK WALK WALK!!!! it is the only thing that will relieve the gass pain. It will take a few days, but i PROMISE: you WILL feel better soon :)
