How many surgeons did you consult with before choosing THE one?
Tricia K. replied to Parvathi's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I only met with one. He came VERY highly recommended and after meeting with him, I had full faith in him. I would recommend him to anyone. -
I too was eating almost anything I wanted to about 4-5 weeks out. I didn't have any problems with any type of food. I received my first fill at 6 weeks, which is typical for my surgeon.

I have two of them. The first is on my right ankle and the second is on my left shoulder blade. Neither have them have changed shape, regardless of my size. I'm thinking of having the first one re-touched as it's starting to fade. Can you tell that I have a thing for dolphins? :biggrin1:

I didn't get a choice but did receive a pedometer for registering. Although, they made a mistake and sent me 2 of them. -

Congratulations on being banded. Here's a link to the card you spoke of. It will aid in ordering kid's size meals at restaurants and is good to carry with you in the event of an emergency. http://www.geocities.com/tricia_kutz/misc/94832C_LB_Patient_Card.pdf

You wanna know what really pisses me off about the whole situation?????????
Tricia K. replied to buck100's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Believe me, I feel your frustration. I too went to Surgical Specialists of Lousiana, Southern Bariatric Associates and Dr. Lavin was my surgeon. I don't regret paying the money out of my pocket for the surgery but do wish that more insurance companies would pay for this procedure. Best of luck to you for a speedy recovery. Keep us posted. -

Kathy473, you look GREAT!! Thanks for sharing your photos. -
My doctor recommended no more than walking for the first 6-8 weeks. After that, he had no restrictions on exercise. The following is what I do for exercise: Ride my recumbant bike for 10-20 minutes 2-3 times per week Bowl at least 3 times per week Walk 2 miles around my neighborhood as often as I can Core ball 1-2 times per week (w/ weights)
