Well, i got banded on the 14th. I am now 3 days post-op. I was so terrified i would die from the anesthesia the morning of the surgery. I had a wonderful anesthesiologist named Dr. Ambrose (sp?) and of course Dr. Richard Collier was my surgeon. I had it done at Conroe Regional Medical Center. Cannot say enough good things about the whole experience. They were extra cautious and took excellent care of me. I have not had to take any pain medicine at all after surgery. Very surprising to me!! I am sore all over but not enough pain worth taking pain medicine. I just feel like i worked out really hard and my muslces are sore. Even my neck. I have had to sleep sitting up for the past 3 nites because when i lay down i feel like i can't take a full breath, but other than that, excellent experience!!!

I was banded on 7/24 by Dr. Collier as well. Don't you just love him? I had my surgery at Journey Lite and they are wonderful there too! Do you have plans to attend any of the support group meetings? I am considering attending the August 12th one at Dr. Collier's Conroe office in Ste# 200. I hope to meet you there.

I do love him. I go for my first fill monday aug 11th. I just had to have surgery again today unrelated to the band and all went well but not as well as with Dr. Collier. I really am glad i found him. I thought the meetings were the 2nd tues of every month at 6:30 pm on the 2nd floor of his office bldg in conroe ... i had his office staff write it down for me... i will try to call their office tomorrow to clarify that ... i do plan on going though, whenever it is.

Yes, I think they are the 2nd Tuesday of every month, that would be the 12th, right?? I could be confused! Let me know what you find out after you check.
