Summer,

I had surgery by Dr. Tran on 10/09. They are a great office and two great doctors. If you have any specific question feel free to ask.

Chris, I'm getting banded by Dr.Tran on monday. How was your experience? Any complications? Was Tran personable? Just wondering since I really haven't seen or heard a lot about him online.

Maybe he's at the Woodbridge office. You don't have to go to him for fills though. Christina is great if you go to her!!! I just got my last fill (I hope). I am at 9.2cc in an 11 cc band. I can tell it's going to work this time.

I go to the Woodbridge office and they just keep saying hes not in the office and they dont know when he will be back. I have received a fill from Dr. Tran before too. never Dr. halmi. i am glad to head you have 9.2ccs. Do you feel a huge difference? What were you before this fill?

I was at 8cc's. With 8 I just had a hard time with bread/rice/pastas but today when I got my fill I got a little burpy from just the Water. I hope it works ...I'll know more in a few days.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
