They did my procedure at 7:30 am and we spent the nite in a hotel just in case I had problems. We were up by 4am and made the 4 hour trip home.Was a little sore but have not taken anything for pain since Thursday.I feel fine.

    Newbie, banded on 6/1/09

    Hello Jose, I was banded on 6/3/09 and I understand what you are saying about being hungry. The protein drinks do seem to help me. Good luck to you!
  5. hey dawanna. I'm so sorry I did't get your message. I don't really check this part of my profile regularly.

     

    I love my band! Dr Sartor did my surgery April 1st at P&S. The total cost was 12,900. I paid in cash the day before surgery. Had my band put in around lunch one day, spent the night by choice so I could rest away from the kids and went home the next morning.

     

    The recovery was a little more that what I had expected, but went quickly.

     

    I just had my 4th fill with 7cc in a 10 cc band. THe first 3 months of fills after surgery are included in your price, so it's best to get to your sweet spot asap to decrease your out of pocket. This last fill cost $300, but it was worth it.

  6. I am considering lap band. I live in Delhi and work in Rayville. Are you happy with your surgery and doctor? What as your approximate cost? I would appreciate any information you would be willing to share.

    Thanks,

    Dawanna

    P.S. congratulations on your weight loss!!
