My lapband surgery is scheduled for November 5. I was wondering if anyone has any comments about the quality of care at this hospital?

I was banded 11-07 and lost 25 pounds on liguids over the next three weeks while I got better. Since then I havent lost one pound. Ive had two fills for a total of 2.5cc. Doctor Jossart @ SF laprosopic associates says 4 cc will be max. And if I go there "I wont be able to swallow my own saliva". I dont "sabotage" by eating ice cream or fattening foods. I can eat whatever I want and as much as I want though. Absolutely no effects! My weight has stablized for two months without moving. I'm very disappointed with the lap band. As a tool it just doesn't work. Bummed I waisted so much money!

I was banded two weeks ago and highly recommend "WORLD WIDE" PURE PROTEIN SHAKES. All kinds of different flavors and they come in 11 oz can with either 21 or 35 grams of protein. They are without a doubt the best tasting protein drink I have ever had. I LOVE THEM! They are available online or @ GNC Vitamin stores.

Thank you for letting me know how things went for you at Good Samaritan Hospital. You put my mind to rest and I can now go there feeling a whole lot more comfortable about what to expect. What a relief.
