    July 2006 Band Crew

    Thanks KariK, perhaps is it the stress of overcompensating for my stomach muscles. I have noticed that at times I have been very tense while sitting so I have been making an effort to relax my lower back. It is better than the first few days so maybe as I am healing it will continue to get better.

    Dr. David Hall in Wylie, TX

    I am very familiar with the Wylie area and have never heard of Dr. Hall. Also, if she is looking at doing it there in Wylie, I know they had a death related to this procedure. That hospital has opened/closed many times over the years, each time under a different bariatric treatment name.

    anyone been banded by Dr. Bryce?

    Got banded 4 days ago by Dr. Bryce and have been working with his office for a few months. Let me know any specific questions.
  7. I got banded four days ago with Dr. Bryce. He was really encouraging to me. Very positive and I feel great. Let me know if you have any questions.

    July 2006 Band Crew

    Well, I am now four days post-band. I feel good and my incisions feel like bruises and I am just tender, not in pain. I feel really lucky because I have been sleeping on my left side since day one and I have not had any nausea at all. The only problem I seem to be having in lower back pain. I am kind of assuming that is from the blow-up gas and surgery but was wondering if anyone else had lower back pain?
  9. Got a "no" on caffeine on my pre-op diet! Good luck.

    Stuck with Aetna until Nov 2006

    Aetna changed their requirements in March 2006 and now do not require those listed in a previous post. I was approved on the first try with 37 BMI and sleep apnea.
  12. I am sorry to know you had a problem. I just wanted to say that my experience with Dr. Bryce's office has been totally different. When I first attended a seminar in January, I was given paperwork saying his non-refundable program fee was $250. By the time of my first appointment with Dr. Bryce, the program fee had increased to $400 but they honored the commitment of $250 without question. I haven't had any problems with them at all and Julie, their insurance clerk, has been great to work with and kept me well informed of all the steps in the process.

    GB vs. Lapband

    I wanted the band over bypass because (1) it's removable if there is a problem and things go back to normal and (2) the malabsorption of viatmin problem with bypass (3) I didn't want my stomach cut in half. I think you will here a lot of these reasons as you get responses.
  15. No shoe advice but notice some of you are local to my area. Any comments about surgery in Richardson?
