I posted a reply to you. My sister is considering surgery with Dr. Byrne. I live in Ft. Worth and was banded last Nov 07. Just looking for as much info as possible. I know having a good doctor is key...I have read horror stories. Dr. Byrne has so many good things online about him. This is encouraging. Any thoughts that might help her (and me as I can't hop on a plane to visit her and go to an appointment with her) would be appreciated. Thanks.

Does Anyone Know About MUSC's New Program?
jujubean replied to jdj's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
My sister is strongly considering Dr. Byrne. I live in Ft. Worth and was banded last November 2007. I am so thankful I did. I've lost over 60lbs so far. Feeling more and more energetic. My sister and I both know that the quality and length of our lives depend on losing our weight. She is considering gastric bypass and lapband. Everything I have read about Dr. Byrne is impressive. She told me that he prefers gastric by-pass instead. Did he indicate this procedure was preferrable for you? And if so, why did you choose Lap-band? Any other thoughts about your experience would be so helpful. Thanks.
