Hi I'm Sean and was banded on 7/2 09 by Dr. Sal.He is a very good Dr and did a very good job with my surgery. I had my surgery done at tri city Hosp in Hawain Gardens which was a good facility.They take very good care of you so It was a good experience.I go the the Dr office near where I for after care as don't want to drive all the way up to Beverly hill.Still feel hungry at times but can deal with it alot easier thne before the banding and will be getting my first adjustment on 7/31. You need to find a support group on your own as it is helpful in giving you idea and alos give you support on your journet

Mine is on my right side and only feel it when I bend over like a small pinch type of feeling. I was told this was normal since i had my surgery only 1 week ago.

Hi Jess there is Dr. David Oliak who has a practice in orange,Calif and a Dr.peter Laporte that has a practice in Fountain Vally. Good luck in your Search. Sean

Glad to have give up the diet coke was reallllllllllly hard the first few days but decided if I wanted this to work then this was what had to be done.

I used to be the same drank tons of Diet coke. But decided after the ban to give it up as well as beer as did not wnat any complications as wanted this to work right. I think giving up hte Diet Coke adn the caffine was harder thne the Beer. LOL

I had mine done this past thursday and feel its the best thing I ever could do for my self. I too have to sleep on my back as I ususally sleep on my side but will have to wait till it feels right. Hopefully pretty soon. Hang in there and good luck. Sean

Also good luck to you Bobbi and hope your surgery foes great. Sean

got my done today. Iwas 257 prior to pre op diet 7 days before surgery was 252 when I went in for surgery today. Surgery went great just very sore and tired. Will start walking tommorrow and begin the process of healing and get to the next level. Sean

Hi to one and all I'm sean from Southern Calif and I got banded today so glad its over with and am looking foreward to going to the next level.Just very sore and tired but that was to be expected.

Hi, I'm just wondering if maybe your band isn't tight enough. Have you talked with your surgeon about this. In a class my husband and I both took so I could learn some of the things he can eat in stages is that every so often he needs to go in and have the lap band adjusted. This should be one of the first things you do to find out why your not getting full I hope this helped.

good luck to you mine is this Thursday and am glad its finally happening.

Iwill be seeing Dr. Salimitari to be banded on july 2. Wish me luck
