Who could ask for a better birthday gift than a new start to life...dr.wagner is great and very educational...the staff at the office alway has a warm smile and ready to answer any questions you may have.... Great dr. And office staff....

I just lived 3 weeks w/ throwing up several times a day...went yesterday to dr. And he took out a tiny bit of fluid and i ate my first meal in 3 weeks yummy... While i was tooo tight i was making bad food choices b/c that was all that would stay down.. Now i'm back on track and loving life now that im not crabby& hungry anymore!!!!!! -
hi i was banded on 6-8-09 and my port has also flipped... dr did do my first 2 fills under xray.. i go in for my revision in oct and he will also fill at the same time.. i have a total of 5cc in the lapband... feeling restriction esp when i do not chew well (ouch)... good luck to everyone and i will post after i get my port revision...

i went for my first fill yesterday and same thing happened to me... dr could not do fill in office we had to meet at the hosp. and do a fill under the xray... allwent good except my port has flipped on it's side... dr. wants to go back in port site and sew it down with just a local... he said it onlyh happens about 5 patients a year.. lucky me should of played the lottery..... lol

congrats on your surgery date... surgery is such a breeze compared to the one week diet prior.. if you can make it though that the rest is smooth sailing.. if you plan on going to st.alexius hosp. the staff is amazing.. good luck with your up coming surgery... it is soooooo worth the wait..

hi i have not had a fill yet.. suppose to the week of the 18th but dr out of town so my 1st fill is on the 27th. i have lost a total of 25 lbs so far but i have not been exercizing due to my back pain... not sure if it is mental or not but i think my back pain has eased alittle since the weight change.. or at least that is what im telling myself... do you live in the st.louis area?? did you have dr.wagner?? i had no pain after surgery except back pain.. i did have to sleep in recliner for the first 3 nights for my back... this week i have soreness in my port site but i think its b/c of straining in the bathroom lol... hope all is well nicole
