I was wondering if this is the same doctor LOpez that works in Tijuana.. with doctor CLeysa

I've revised the stats a little to differentiate between the two Lopez that I have on record. They now appear as:

J.C.Lopez

J.Lopez-Corvala

I have currently got one questionmark outstanding as to who performed the operation, so currently that person is penciled in as a Lopez-Corvala (but it isn't an erosion).

Hope that clears it up.

Hi,

Great idea to collect stat's.

Format for Submission of Data:

Date Banded: July 26, 2005

Country: USA

Doctor: Abkin

Erodoed: Unfortunately, YES.

If Eroded Date Removed: January 27, 2006 (6 months & 1 day)

If the other patient of Abkins that had an erosion would contact me directly I'd appreciate it (highbios@aol.com).

Wish I wasn't a statistic.

Good Luck to everyone.

Banded: 29 July 2003

Country: Sydney Australia

Surgeon: Dr Ritchie

Erosion: No

So far I am down exactly 80lbs, not all from the band - in the past 1.5 months I have also become an exercise addict - which took off another 16 out of the total. I take a mild antidepressant that has taken my head space into the best place for taking care of myself. At last I matter to me - after all of my 45 years - no surgery, pills, exercise or dieting can do that individually - we have to do it and listen to our souls and find what is right for us.

Good luck to you all

Glenda

I have read posts on other boards that patients with swedish bands have most erosion. Think it would be good to list what type band each has.

Just my 2cents what do ya'll think?

Greetings all interested Bandster type folks!

I've been a bit slack on keeping this as up to date as I was, mainly due to work being an abject pile of horse poop. They keep trying to kill me with over work but I am fighting on. I'll try and get at least a weekly update done for the stats.

All the best!

Hey there Apple :)

With regards to the Swedish band, its still under medical trial in the states so its a bit too soon to really give it a fair shake of the stick.

Secondly, you didn't mention who your Doc is.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
