I am in Beaumont-I used Dr. Spiegel for lap band but I used Dr. Dean for a previos surgery and he was fine. He doesn't have as much experience in this procedure,but he is a great surgeon. Good luck with your adventure---and adventure it is!

I am finally there! Again! The first time I was there for 2 days and then I got kicked out. But I'm back and I'm stayin'. Hang in there--- this place does exist.

I had my surgery 11-29-07 and was losing at a good rate also, however, the restriction you feel is from the swelling from the surgery. About one week before my fill I found I could eat more than I needed to eat. I had a 1.2 cc and now can only eat like I could right after surgery! I have also had my first problem with eating too much---yuk! Good luck-it sounds like you are doing great.

You guys are doing GREAT! I also have reached onederland and feel like my first obstacle is hurdled. I was hung up at 201.5 for a whole week,but after my fill I went to 198.5. Feels great to be here with you and I hope I stay.

Banded Today and Have a Question
Julia51 replied to jsp's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi! Hope you are doing ok---I wasn't allowed anything but clear liquids for a week after my surgery, so I don't know if you messed up or not. After reading what other people have had to say,I wonder if my dr. is over cautious. I was told to drink SlimFast, but that was the only other thing I could have. -
Thanks Rouse84---How much weight have you lost? I'm at 20 lbs loss now and going strong!

I had my band in Houston on Nov. 29, and had a positive experience. So far I have had no trouble and have lost 14 lbs. My first fill is Jan 7, and I'm a little scared, but no-one has hurt me yet. Good luck!
