Fresno, CA Pre-surgery questions
Blueeyesinca95 replied to sandy00's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am from the Tulare Area and my doctor was actually located in Visalia. I had my surgery done at St Agnes in Fresno. I have heard and read the ads for Clovis weight loss but I really don't know a lot about them. My friend had surgery done by Dr. Higa and it was done at Fresno Heart Hospital. Good Luck and hope you get some good answers! -
My name is Christie Jimenez I work at the hospital.
If you want we can talk over the phone.

Favorite "post-band" chain restaurant?
Blueeyesinca95 replied to cookiebaby's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have been able to get the kids discount prices at several restaraunts including Sizzler. I had the kids steak and had about 1/4 to 1/2 and then had some fresh veggies from the buffet. It was cheap and very filling. I have found out to just ask and most places wont give you a hard time about senior or childrens pricing. -
Looking into lap band
Blueeyesinca95 replied to cjimenez's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Yes, I am from Tulare. I used Dr. Karen MacKenzie in Visalia for my surgery. I have enjoyed my experience with her and her office. I would reccomend her if you are looking to have the surgery done. She is on leave for the month of March as she is serving in Afganistan for the Air Force but will be back in April. -
Yes, I do live in Tulare. I haven't lived here long though I have lived in Visalia most of my life. My name is Stacy Sanders.

Looking into lap band
Blueeyesinca95 replied to cjimenez's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Welcome to the site! We all have made or are making the important decision to have the surgery done. I will tell you that I have had a great experience so far post-op. I am six weeks out and have had no complications. Weight loss has stabilized but I am still extremely happy with my results. Good luck on your journey and making your decision. :thumbup: -
How long do you stay out of work?
Blueeyesinca95 replied to eyeinthesky's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was banded on 1/16/09 and went back to work 1/20/09. I was off 3 days but would have only been 2 if Monday had not been a holiday. I work at a desk all day and don't lift. I felt great a little tired at the end of a 10 hour shift but with very little protein I expected that. Everyone is different in this category for sure. -
*New* Banded 1/23 & still not back to work
Blueeyesinca95 replied to Tullila's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
To me it doesn't sound like pain from the band. It would be interesting to know if you have gallbladder problems. That sounds like the pain I had with my gallbladder before it was removed. Also, gallbladder problems tend to be triggered by food. I would suggest checking with your PCP or surgeon. I was banded on 1/16/09 and back to work on 2/20/09. -
Realize Band or Lap Band
Blueeyesinca95 replied to Jacks2009's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I didn't have a choice either and my surgeon used the Lap-Band. All my paperwork from my seminars and the post op paperwork was all from the Lap-Band company. I am just over 2 weeks post-op and haven't had any problems. I tend to believe it is a surgeons preference. -
Congrats on your date and congrats on doing so well post op. I am almost 2 weeks post op and love my new life!
