I am writing you, because you are one of the few patients of Dr. Mailapur that had the LapBand. I live in Athens, and realize that you haven't posted in a while. I too am interested in the LapBand and am considering going through Dr. Mailapur. I have read that he attended a workshop about Oct or Nov last year and now is more in favor of the Lapband. I guess I want to know your opinions on the surgery and how your struggle has been since surgery. Are you still losing weight and how much have you lost. I am at 315pounds. I realize I will still have to work hard after surgery,but I am not prepared to have the bypass, it scares me to death to think about the baypass. Please write me at my email--vlmar55@earthlink.net. I have trouble getting messages through the forum. Thank you. Vickie Marks

Hi Juliana,
I am looking for a doctor to perform my fills and came across your post. Do you have any idea how much Dr. Mailapur charges for a fill? I was banded last year on 11/21/08 and I am down 50 pounds so far. I have been getting my fills in Dallas but I am in Nashville and Huntsville is pretty close. I have been lucky to hit my sweet spot after the 2nd fill. I just notice that I can eat more now and think it might be time.
Any help would be appreciated.

Why is my hair falling out?
Juliana replied to cakegal's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My hair is coming out too!!! I am almost 6 months post op, and it started about 3 months ago with me... Thank goodness, i had really thick hair, but i can really tell a difference and it has really been bothering me...it is in the shower, it is all over all the floors...the vacuum cleaner really gets a workout..lol i'm so glad for this post because i'm going to try the biontin vitamins... I think anesthesia changed my hair TEXTURE as well.. i have always had big, thick wavy hair.... my gallbladder was taken out one month before my lap band and ever since that surgery, my hair has wanted to be flat and straight...it tries to curl, but just can't quite get there... has anyone else had the texture change as well? I thought maybe after the lap band surgery the anesthesia would shock it back into normal curls, but no such luck...lol Thanks for the posts! I'm going to try the vitamins -
It was soooo nice meeting you at the support group on thursday!!!!! Thanks so much for getting it going. I had been asking for months, but they said they couldn't until more banders showed up, so thanks!!! I look forward to seeing you again soon. I'm not on here much, but will try and keep in touch! Talk to you soon, Julie
