I had my band placed March 10th, 2008. Had my 3rd fill 3 days ago. I think I have finally found my 'magic spot'. Have 7cc total. Would like to talk to others in the area who have been banded as well..........Kim

Hi Kim:

I live just south of you near the Flagler/Volusia border. I was banded Oct. 2007 and have lost 50 pounds and dropped three pant sizes! Dr. Marema from U.S. Bariatrics in St. Augustine did my surgery. He's great!

Hi,

I know you've already had your band implanted. However, for those who are thinking about it, there is an educational seminar scheduled for Thursday, Dec. 2, at Florida Hospital Flagler, 60 Memorial Medical Pkwy, 1st Floor, Classroom D. Registration begins at 5:30 p.m. and the presentation starts at 6. During the 90 minute sessions, you can learn about weight loss surgery, ask questions and talk with medical professionals and others considering the procedure. If you'd like to learn more or register, call Deborah at 386.673.8588.

I am new to PO & just found a new Dr. His name is Birkendal and he works out of the Florida Hospital Ormond of Williamson Rd. I think he's wonderful and his staff is awesome. I am a bad LB patient. My story is long and not a good ending, thus far. I ruined my band by not being a good patient. I'm seeing the Doc next week for surgery consult, but all in all my first few experiences with him/them have been wonderful. I am also seeking good counseling and support group info from their offices. Once I get it, I will share.
