  1. I used Dr. Hamn which is an associate with Dr. Cribbins, the whole experience is amazing. The staff is great and let me tell you I am post op 4 weeks I went in weighing 237.5 on the day of surgery and gain about 12 lbs after surgery because of medication and swelling and 4 weeks later I am weighing 228. I feel great and had no problems with incisions or anything. I had surgery on Thursday and went back to work on Monday. Sometimes I feel like I didn't even have surgery I feel so good!!! Hope this helps someone. Oh, also I was diabetic and high blood pressure and have not had to take either since day of surgery...AMAZING!!! That was worth the sugery in itself.
  2. I was banded on 4/26/07 and my doctor did not place me on any special diet before, however I had started dieting on my own and lost 27 lbs. by cutting back and exercising. I started at 265 and now weight 229. Week 1 - clear liquids Week 2 - 4 weeks soft foods - he said I could eat anything with the consitency no thicker than tomatoe paste. I'm doing great, I feel great and have started moving down in dress sizes already. I would let everyone know it is sooooo worth it.
