  1. Have your Thyroid checked.....ask for a TSH test! Could be underlying health issues! I was banded 12-7-10 and am only down 50 pounds! I have Hypo thyroid,stage 3 Adrenal Fatigue among other issues and it is harder to lose the weight compared to someone with out thyroid issues!
  2. With regard to Dr. Madan, Dr. Madan has numerous honors and awards. He has been doing general weight loss surgeries since 2002 and Lap-Band specific procedures since 2003. In 2010, Dr. Madan performed over 660 Lap-Band procedures and over 2,000 in his career. Dr. Madan is highly respected by his peers and extremely well liked and appreciated by his patients. Dr. Madan has even performed the first ever reported case of an extremely complicated procedure of laparoscopic gastric bypass with prior liver transplant. He also has helped revise (orfix) previous bariatric surgery procedures from almost every single practice in the area including most if not all of the local academic institutions. Un like many other surgeons, Dr. Madan publishes his results in numerous peer-review articles. His resume (curriculum vitae) is nearly 50 pages long. Heauthored the chapters on the technique of laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding. He is an editor of “The Handbook of Obesity Surgery” (a book intended to teach all aspects of obesity surgery to both weight loss surgeons in training and current weight loss surgeons) and an editor of the journal,Obesity Surgery, which publishes articles to current weight loss surgeons. Dr. Madan has been asked and continues to be asked to educate surgeons about obesity surgery in national courses. Dr. Madan IS my Doctor and I could not be happier! I was banded on 12-7-10 at the BH center!
  3. I'm from Laguna Niguel and was banded on 12-7-10! I'm only down 15 pounds since then but 30 since I was approved! I go in for my 3rd fill this Saturday! yay Jenna, Laguna Niguel
