I'm checking off the days on my calender. I will be attending my senimar on the 4th, the first step, I'm getting excited, learning as much as I can. My friend is having by-pass surgery this friday, she is excited, everyone tells me not to waste my time with the lapband and to have gastric by-pass, that I wont lose that much weight. but I know this is the best option.

Hi everyone, I am finally looking into surgery. I will be attending a seminar on Oct. 4th I have thought about it for at least 6 years and have alot of friends that have had gastric by-pass surgery. after much thought, I have decided on the lapband. It will be great to have someone to talk to that has already gone through the procedure. I weigh 295 at 5'6. I have loss weight on diets but gain it back after a few years. I am interested to know if any of you have had surgery with Dr. Coirin or Dr. Coates in Modesto, CA. all my friends had their surgery in Fresno.
