Dr.Neff.My paperwork was submitted the week of the 24th...haven't heard yet but went to the required class that gives you an overview of the hospital,procedure and a review of all necessary steps pre op ,post op.There was a class of about 15 people plus support members.I was the smallest person ...wow...a few 500 pounders.I think I asked the most questions...nice support system.

Went to the required meeting ...very informative...I was the skinniest of the group! :-)Got a tour of the bariatric ward.Q& A with the coordinator who is an ex bariatric patient...

9 pounds!!!!!yay!You must be feeling fantastic !

Bypass.

I had a hysterectomy...I take 850 grams of meteor in twice daily...zip have been there ...when zi was in my early forties ....its debilitating ...I take floradix iron with herbs and it helps...a drop in vitamins make it worse.hang in there.... Metformin 850 2x a day

Get your finances together because he will come after you for support and the familiar phrase...you hindered my career..,I made choices for the benefit and care of our children at your request.You didn't want me to work.I supported you and your career at the expense of mine....this is what happens...sylher your money so that he can't come after it legally.See a lawyer ASAP

Absolutely don't wait for him to "drop the ball"...because he is unhappy and so are you ...You have to be prepared and ready .Its been over and the "new you " deserves a better life and you will find someone who digs you. Get ready for the end of this...,new beginning...

Ugh l find no resolve...

I have lived with PCOS for years,hirutism,weight issues,heavy periods,insulin resistance, dysplasia...had to have a partial hysterectomy and metastatic breast cancer ....I am revising from a band to bypass...hoping to get a grip on this...

Who is your dr?

New Jersey

Mini bypass?

I was submitted 2 weeks ago.My tentative date is for December 28.Not sure how long it will take to get a response....yay or nay from Horizon

Prayers for you....

How are you??

Same here ...hooray!Love it!

Yay! PCOS has ruined my quality of life.

I need a drink on the go...pre mixed.Any suggestions?

I say you need a better deal..,call it quits.

OMG.I am so sorry to hear this.There should be a class action lawsuit and a ban on the lap band procedure.I have so much damage and I am awaiting approval from the insurance company..In pain and I feel bilious because my port has flipped...I had a doctor that I saw in the same practice that was known as the "lapband Doctor ".No personality and a bad attitude when someone came in complaining and seeking a revision.He performed some sleeve procedures but was adamant that he performs the procedure 6 months apart.First removal then revision.I have had a DVT...not looking to have to separate procedures.I was originally going for a revision to a sleeve but my acid reflux is off the charts.This band has caused damage to my insides.Plus I developed breast cancer...hmmm....silicone in body...erosion... I changed to another doctor in the same practice....you could tell they know the band is faulty....you could see it when you discuss all your problems...they have heard it all many times before.If I don't get it out soon...I am in trouble I think you should seek a lawsuit!!!

Hi Mbrown, I have the band and I am as fat as ever.I can't have the sleeve because of the damage that was caused by the band.Torturous ephagus and severe Acid reflux,hiatal hernia,flipped port....The band has messed my stomach up.

I disagree.

Listen to your doctor.I had the option of lapband or bypass back in 2004.My doctor saw that I insisted on the less"invasive " surgery...I went with the lapband.BIGGEST MISTAKE!I have had nonstop problems...looking back I wish my doctor would have given me the advice ...now I am seeking a revision to bypass....Get the most effective surgery.My friend has the sleeve and she has malabsorption as well..vitamin up!!! Go with your doctors advice.

I have a date for revision to bypass of Dec 28.Had to go through the entire process but I want this out....

Yep...it will continue to cause issues...revision ... I have been dealing with it...it is not good at all.
