BWilson 0 Posted September 14, 2008 My name is Brent and I live in Central California. My surgery was performed in Visalia, CA by Dr, Karen Mac Kenxie. Before surgery I weighted around 332 lbs, but when I went to see the Dr. I was at 322 (tying to diet on my own). At the time of the surgery I was down to 308 lbs thanks to that god awful pre-op diet. Now after the surgery I weight around 288 lbs. My surgery was 8/28/2008. My insurance paid for it because I have everything in the book: Diabetes Hight Blood Pressure BMI over 40 sleep Apnea High Cholesterol My first fill is on 10/1/2008 and I thought it would be a good idea to fine a support site. This site looks like a good place to get information and support from this who have already been thru there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RestlessMonkey 7 Posted September 14, 2008 Welcome! I was banded on 8/29 and my first fill is 10/9 so apparently my doc is a little more conservative than yours! Let us know how it goes! I can hardly wait to move forward! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
