I had my band done by Dr Fortier May of 2005. I have nothing but good things to say about him. I have no problems with my band unless I do not chew well enough. I am now at my goal weight and loving it!

Hi everyone! I had surgery in Morris on May 3. I started in February with the process. The approval from BC/BS did take some time. I also appreciated the expectation of compliance. I knew I had to make changes, and that the banding is just a tool. I also have been faithfully attending weight watchers, which has been a good support. I just can't believe how wonderful I feel, and that I could DO IT!! I was so hungry all of the time, that I just gave up hope and ate. Now I eat smaller portions, drink my water and get exercise. My medical complications are gone, and I sleep so much better. Best of luck!

enndee- I had my surgery with Dr Fortier in May. They were awesome during the entire process! I would have been able to come home the same day, but I was SO sleepy! I had a very fast recovery and have lost over 10 pounds per month since! My total loss from before and during surgery is 58#. I have not had time to attend their support group, but they do meet monthly, the last monday of the month. I plan to attend in September. Maybe I will see you there!
