Hello, I have a question for you. I really like Dr. S. when you went to see him in his new office, did you have to pay for your fills (now that he is not part of the other office)?

Hi Ladies,

So how is everyone doing? I was banded by Dr. Salimatari on Nov. 3 and I'm down about 22 pounds now. I'm excited.

We"ll do great, don't listen to any negative people and try to surround yourself with positive support. I love my band and am excited to lose weight. I'm down 22 in 2 months.

I was banded November 4th and I'm feeling great. I got my second fill today. I've lost about 20 pounds so far.

We should all get together one day for coffee and discuss. I think it would be really nice since we used the same doc. Also if you guys are interested I'm trying to start a local support group for lap band patients. I live in Burbank. Let's discuss.

BTW! I get my first fill today with the doc.

Hi I used Dr Salimitari, do you you have any questions?

We are organizing a support group, our first meeting of the San Fernando Valley Lapbanders will be at my house. Tuesday, November 25, at 6:30 p.m.

My name is Laura my address is 10961 Peoria Street, Sun Valley. Telephone number is (949) 939-4084.

Please bring any books with you that have been beneficial to you during your Lap Band experience that you would like to share with others at the time of the meeting.

I was banded on Nov 4th and was eating soft food after day 7. I felt weird about it and scared but I am great, don't feel anything at all. At first I was questioning my DR. approach, but I guess he knows what he is doing.

Hi Jenn,

Ellen and I have been discussing a group. I live in Burbank/Shadow Hills and I think Ellen in North Hollywood. I would be willing to host it at my house if you ladies are interested. Just let me know. I just got banded this week so I'm probably the newbie.

Hi Luluc,

I have a quick question for you. I saw that your starting weight was 200. Was that your original starting weight, the reason for my question is that I only weight 190 and got the lapband this week. Athough I'm excited I'm nervious too, thinking that my weight didn't warrant the surgery. Did you feel the same way?

Hi I"m interested in a group I was banded on Tuesday, Nov 4th. My name is Laura, my email is georges.laura@yahoo.com

Hi Lisa, I'm Laura I live in Burbank and I'm 32 single no kids like you. I had my surgery Tuesday, so far so good. I just have abdomenal pain right now. It hurts to take a deep breath, but hopefully the pain will lessen. Overall I'm doing well I have walking an hour after the surgery.
