Has anyone else attended Dr. Kaplan's seminar? I am scheduled for the seminar on 3/15 and curious if anyone else has went. I believe that they are just beginning to do banding in Parkersburg. Thanks.

Hey there! I had lap band surgery with Dr.Kaplan March 19th of this year. Just had my second fill today as a matter of fact. Things are going great. I have been very pleased with Dr.Kaplan and would do it all over again in a heartbeat!!!

I met with him in the office last week and he did my EGD this past Monday. I was very happy with him. He was very nice and took the time to answer all my questions. I'm pleased with my choice of having him do the surgery!

Yes

I was so nervous about this but it was pretty easy. The worst part is the bruise the IV left on my arm!

Good luck! Let me know how it went.

I started my pre-op liquids/high Protein diet on Monday after my EGD. I have lost 8 lbs since then! The diet sucks, but the results are great. Hopefully my liver will be nice and small!

Hi guys! Just checking in here to get support. Hubby and I have started our 6-month diet, working with Lindsey. Wow...once you write things down it's pretty amazing how many calories there are in food. I found out that one timbit is a serving...I used to eat maybe 20 at a time! I'm lucky, the people I work with are super supportive! They're writing down their food too and almost everyone is using a pedometer and encouraging everyone to walk more.

I haven't done stellar the last 3 days. Haven't written down a thing. I hope I don't get flogged to bad! My 20 month old has strep throat and has just felt horrible. Fevered, crying, needy. I've eaten, but I honestly can't tell you what. She's finally on the mend and I'll be better!

I wish other people who see Dr. Kaplan would post here! We could form our own little community.

if you havent logged for the past several days youll need to log extra days now. Insurance won't accept it unless it's actually 6 months. I know it's stupid but insurance is dumb lol.

I go see Lindsey again for my 7th weigh in on Friday. Thursday is my 23rd birthday. :biggrin:

My last weigh in I lost 9.5 lbs! I hope I do well this time too.

Good luck with your 6 months it goes by so quick! I can't believe I am in month 4 already.

Oh thank you so much for letting me know! Last night the kids helped me recreate what I ate. For three days I basically sat and held my baby while she was miserable. My older two kids just threw food at me from time to time. LOL I think I have everything.

Jennifer- Good to hear from you! I was just wondering over the weekend how you were doing! My husband goes tomorrow for his pre-op appointment with Dr. Kaplan. He should be having surgery in the next 2-3 weeks. I am on week 5 now. Hard to believe how quickly time has flown by this summer. I went last week for my first fill and he didn't do it because I had lost 22lbs since my pre-op diet, with 7 after surgery. But, this week I seem to be more hungry now that I'm back on regular foods. I have an appointment next Monday, so hopefully I'll get the fill!

Froggi- You're doing a great Job! Just think, only 2 more months! Surgery will be here before you know it. :thumbup:
