I had an appointment last friday (sept 7th) to attend a seminar on the lap band. When I called to confirm I would be there that day I was told I would have to be rescheduled. The person rescheduled me for Sept 13th. Just before I was ready to leave the house yesterday I called to confirm what metro train to catch. The person I talked to didn't know what I was talking about, she told me that the seminars are only given once a month and the next one will be in October. I explained that I was told that the doctor had an emergency and that my appointment had to be rescheduled. The lady told me that they did have the seminar on the 7th and they don't know who I could have talked too. Needless to say I was angry and dissapointed. It was a good thing I called before I went.

I thought about calling my doctor's office and getting another referral. I really liked what I read on his website for before and after care (Weight loss programs consisting of obesity surgery) that I decided to make another appointment for his seminar but I'm also going to ask my doctor if she could recommend someone else I can look into.

I haven't gotten my band yet but I hope to. We all are different, everyone don't react the same to the same things. Some it will work for others it won't. There are exceptions to every rule. How many times have we been told to try a product because this one, that one and the other one tried it and lost weight but it didin't work for us. For those who that happened to you were the exception to the rule. I'm glad you posted that, it's a good help for my research.

Hi, I wanted to thank you for the link to the ASMBS. I was able to find a link to the website of the Dr. I'm seeing tomorrow. They had a lot of great information on theirs site so I got a got head start on what to expect.
