Dr. Hekier, I am currently in West Monroe, LA and I am having my surgery with Dr. Cribbins in Dallas, TX who works in conjunction with Rita Zuber in Calhoun, LA for aftercare. Everything of mine is submitted to insurance and I am waiting on approval, so I really am not considering moving surgeons but I have gotten several people interested in considering lap band who ask for referals. Do you have an aftercare program in other areas?

I am actually going through a surgeon in Dallas-Dr.Cribbins. He comes highly recommended and then all my aftercare will be through the Family Clinic in Calhoun with Rita Zuber.

I wouldn't worry about The Bandit. They have made one post on the site and used it to bash somebody. Anyone else smell a TROLL?

The same could be said for someone who is 35 minding their own business. I say to each their own. As long as it is recreational and doesn't interfere with day to day life. Have at it!:thumbup:

Now I am scared to ask where everything exits then. :party:

I'm whistlin' "Dixie". :thumbup:

ROTFLMAO. **Turns head upward to make double chin disappear**

LJM, just what could you be refering to. :tongue: LOL

Personality...definately personality. I can't stand that. I don't get the point. If you don't like me, fine. Don't act like you do then turn around and tell my business to someone else. These people always have to be the center of attention. maybe they didn't get enough attention at home. Maybe they have the only child syndrome. I don't know, but they love spreading gossip and being nice to people is their way of getting the gossip they need. Disgusting.

I ate everything in my refrigerator this week and gained weight. Why isn't my band working? :tt1:

OMG Crazycat! I decided to take a peek at the site while I was at work and my stomach is hurting so bad from trying not to laugh out loud while reading that story. HILARIOUS!!!!

I too have a daughter in GS. I work for a large company and ended up selling a butt load (is that in our metric system). I bought some thinking "Hey. Maybe they will come in before the surgery", since I don't have a date yet. Just my luck they will come in while I am on my pre-op diet. Not to mention our troop will also have to hole up and attack people infront of grocery stores. UGH!

People naturally want to make themselves look better. I say keep them coming, and if you want to poke your neck out or twist your head around like the exorcist, it's your own business and no one else's. I commend you on your courage to post the pics in the first place, and funny enough, just because of the simple fact that someone would have something negative to say about them.

I was wondering the same thing. The band is a tool, not a miracle procedure. You have to do the work and the band aids you in your weight loss journey. It will take several fills before you will acheive maximum restriction. Give it some time and do all the research you can at this site. This site will give you loads of wonderful people to offer you support in your journey.

Green I almost fell out of my chair I was laughing so hard at your post.

Just had to share!!!!:eek: Anyone else?

Chelle got to this one already. http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f80/omg-violence-ok-but-what-about-buttocks-50648/

Anytime! Glad you two got to meet!

I think it just depends on your doc and what your insurance requires. My doc had me do an EKG and xrays and bloodwork. My DH was on BP medicine due to his blood pressure before surgery. My insurance requires psych eval, nutritional counseling and letter of recommendation from PCP. 2 week modified diet recommended by doc (2 protein shakes and low fat supper). If you feel comforable after talking to your surgeon, that's what matters.
