soon2bslim 0 Posted March 28, 2008 (edited) Hi, My name is Sheila I am from Westhoughton, near Manchester, England, I was banded in Belgum o 7th May 2007 by Dr Marc Forquet, and although there have been a few small hiccups, this is the best thing that I have ever done for myself, I have lost 3 stone to date and feel wonderfull. I was in Long Beach last year, Me and my family just love Los Angeles, my favourite spot is a patch of grass near the baseball area on Venice Beach, I could sit there all day just people watching, from there I would walk to Santa Monica Pier, and for evening meal stroll along Third Street. When we visited last year I lived on Soup and salad, it was just fine. How do you fancy a penpal (e-mail) bandster from across the pond??? Take care, Sheila x Edited March 28, 2008 by soon2bslim spelling Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aunt Kiki 0 Posted June 9, 2008 I had my surgery with Dr. Leport in FV on April 2, 2008. He is a FABULOUS doctor. He was so patient and gentle with everything. I have never once felt like I was bothering him or his physician assistants with all my questions. Are you planning to have your surgery at Orange Coast or Fountain Valley hospital? Good luck! I highly recommend going to a couple of support group meeting before your surgery - a lot of answered questions! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tai68 0 Posted June 9, 2008 Hey Long Beach!! I'm live in the Belmont Shore/Heights area...and work in Fountain Valley. I am set to get banded on 6/30 with Dr. Quebberman. Nice to meet you!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alisomniac 0 Posted August 1, 2010 Anyone with recent LePort experiences? It seems like there isn't so much info on the internet about experiences/timelines with this office. I have an info meeting/verification 8/6 and hoping the process isnt too drawn out... been waiting 3 years already! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Monica90604 0 Posted August 1, 2010 Hi, I was just banded by Dr.Kelly Francis out of Dr.Leport's office. The process from beginning to end was fairly quick, from date of verification to surgery was about 2-3 months. I just had surgery on July 20th of this year. Feel free to contact me with any questions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alisomniac 0 Posted August 2, 2010 Thanks for the reply Monica90604.... I have my 1st/info appointment this Friday and I've heard good things online, but you can only hear so many good things before you start to wonder why you aren't hearing ANY negatives... a little odd. Hope all goes well for you in your odyssey... I started meeting with my doc back in March, so I will be 6 months in soon... and if it's only another 2-3 months that doesn't seem bad except I'm SO ready... 3 years of research and a decade of "really fat" (def chubby - chubby + as a child) have made me super ready to get on with the rest of my life.
