I'm not at my goal yet...and the weight is coming off slower than I'd like. Although I would not change the past year for anything! It's still the best decision I've made for myself. How is everyone else doing???

I was banded at that facility. It's a nice place, you wouldn't think it was a Surgical Center but it is The staff is very nice and Dr. Feiz IS THEE BEST!!! He is a very knowledgable doctor and your incisions are gonna be very esthetically pleasing Good Luck

Okay, so no dilatation...and I'm still getting small fills every month. Hoping my next fill, which is in a few weeks does the trick

Dr. Feiz is a great doctor!

I agree!

I didn't pay anything out of pocket. Everything was covered for me. It may vary depending on what your company is willing to pay when it comes to the weightloss procedures. Dr. Feiz and Dr. Misrah are really good...I forgot to add that my port incision is hidden inside of my belly button, so I only have 3 teeny tiny scars that are barely visible. He is very considerate and esthetically pleasing when he makes his incisions. My brother in law just started the process and hopefully will have a surgery date soon. I hope everything turns out good for you

Dr. Feiz is my surgeon. I love him...he is the best. I also have Anthem BC...and I did not go through Beverly HIlls Physicians, I went through his private office. They are a busy office so if I did not get a call back, I called them. I was approved in about 1 weeks time. My surgery was 3 weeks later. It's the best decision I've made for myself. Good Luck to you

Awesome Advice! It's nice to know we have each other's backs in this!

The little things for me are definitely clothes...being able to fit into my business suits for work that haven't fit me for at least 2 years. Also, having my husband say to me "You ARE losing weight, I can feel it"....lmao

Thats freaking awesome! Congrats to you!

Before I had surgery, I researched both... Yes, they both do the job...I also have two friends that both had the surgery. One had the Lapband, the other had the Realize band...they both had EXCELLENT results and were great examples of both products. I eventually decided to go with the Realize band and I love it. :thumbup:
