I was banded in Peoria,IL by Dr. James Debord Peoria Surgical Group at St. Francis Medical Center.

Thrilled with my whole experience their Bariatric Program is one of the best in the Nation and they are a Center of Excellence as well.

I WAS BANDED BY DR RUMBAUT IN MONTEREY, Mexico. I FOUND HIM ON GASTRICBAND.COM. HE'S WORLD CLASS AND DOES FREE FILLS FOR ALL OF HIS PATIENTS.. YOU CANT BE FREE.. AND EVEN IF IT DID COST. ITS WOULD HAVE BEEN A TEENY TINY PRICE TO PAY TO FINALLY BE FREE FROM FAT... GOTTA LOVE THIS DR.. I'D DO IT A MILLION TIMES OVER...

has anyone had surgery in Las Vegas?

For banding? Or that guy that does mini gastric bypass?

If it is the MGB guy, what a horror. Don't go there. He claims that with bands it is impossible to lose weight. Yet he doesn't tell that MGB isn't a hit in the US or any other country because of the high failure rate.

He's a joke in the medical community.

Had my lap band placed on 07/21/2007 in Tijuana Mexico by Dr. Gonzalez. I am 17 1/2 weeks post-op and have lost 35 pounds so far. I had a great experience with Dr. G and being in Mexico.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
