williegus 0 Posted November 10, 2008 I am just looking into the possibility of getting banded. I've dieted off and on all my life with very temporary positive results. I just cannot do it anymore--I end up gaining more each time I lose weight. Restricting myself is getting harder and harder to do. Anyway, I am looking into the banding procedure. Very concerned regarding possible risks. I am pretty healthy overall. I do have sleep apnea.:eek: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MyDay2Shine 1 Posted November 11, 2008 A good place to start is attending a bariatric surgeon's seminar, or asking your primary doctor for a referral. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
williegus 0 Posted November 11, 2008 Thank you for the suggestions. I am scheduled for a presentation given by a bariatric surgeon on Monday evening, Nov. 17. I have an appointment with a new primary care physician on Nov. 13. I called my current pcp and was told it will be December 2 before I can get in! It is time for a change when your doctor can't get a long-term patient in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
