I was banded at UPMC Magee hospital on May 13 2010. Dr. Courcoulas did my surgery. So far, I've lost 31 pounds since my surgery and I'm doing good. Have you been banded yet BandedKraut? If not good luck to you! Who is/did your surgery? Looks like you are doing very well with your weight loss!

Shadena...Good luck with your surgery! Who is doing your band? It's nice to see ppl that are close to me! :party:

I just checked your profile BandedKraut and saw that your surgeon is Dr. Hamad. Is he in with Dr. Courcoulas cuz that name sounds familiar?

I was banded 12/16/09 by Dr Ramesh Ramanathan. I absolutely LOVE the program UPMC has (it was at Magee, but I am sure the one at St Margarets is great too) and would highly recommend it to anyone. They did make me stay the night, but they treated me so great that I didn't mind at all!

Dr. Giselle Hamad performed my surgery at Magee Women's Hospital on April 12, 2010. I am down 4 sizes since April (went from 3x to size 16) and have never been happier. Off of all my diabetes meds and high blood pressure meds. This was the best decision I have ever made.:thumbup:
