I have had 2 fills and NO - there was no numbing agent --the first one I was fine but yesterday was my second and it hurt so bad. Then about an hour after my fill my port area got so cramping -- I am going to ask from now on!!!!!!!!!!!

I do have a primary care physician but I never once said anything to them about my process. Actually - I still have not contacted them and I was banded on November 10th. I really like Dr Eagon and his staff! It was a 7 month journey for me but I am 6 weeks out and down 13 lbs which is the most weight I have lost in 6 weeks in 10 years.

good luck and if you have any questions feel free to ask!

Hi my name is Christina I am 36 years old. I have 3 children 13,5 & 2. I was banded on 11/10. I am still healing. Today I feel really good and am going to try to get out of my house a little.

I have been struggling with my weight since my 20's. I am 36 and ready to eenjoy my kids.

I am trying to figure out how to get a ticker so I could track my weight. I have a 135 lbs to lose. I have struggled with my weight since my 20's. I am 36 and basically gained 30 lbs planning our wedding 7 yars ago and then another 70 with my first pregancy. Slowly it just kept coming on. I have hired personal trainers, gone to gyms, weight watchers ... probably like everyone else feel like I have done everything.

hello my name is Christina. I am having lap band surgery on Monday 11/10/08. This has been a 7 month journey for me to be approved. I have 3 beautiful children and a wonderful husband.

I am in St Peters and am in the preop stage. I am using Dr Christopher Eagon at Washington University Baratric Center. I have been in this process since April. I hear he has a great reputation!

hello ! I am starting this process also. I went to one meeting at Dr Eagon's office. He is affiliated with Barnes/Wash U. He comes highly recommended but his office does not seem to concerned to see you until you have seen all of the other requirements. I would like to talk to the Dr before I go to all of these other apts??

Just curious if anyone has used him and what they thought

Has anyone gone through this procedure using Dr. Eagon and Wash U Medical Center?? I am just starting this process but they have so much for us to go through before you even get a consultation with the Dr. Is that normal???
