I had my surgery at UPMC St. Margaret in Aspinwall, right outside of downtown Pittsburgh. I did have to have the 6 months of meetings and all the testing, but it was worth it. Pgh Bariatrics is great and Dr. Quinlan is the bomb diggety. I went in the hospital on Thursday for surgery and was in my own bed Friday morning (24 hours).

I am new to this also.... Since you didnt lose anything since your doctors visit, he would most likely do a fill. I was told that you should lose a pound or two a week. Good luck at your doctors appointment and hopefully he will get you on the right track.:smile:

Hi, I have been looking for a good website to join for support and it looks like I found it. I had my lap band surgery on 9/20/07 and weighed in at 237 lbs. I had one adjustment in November. I go to my doctor this Friday (Dr. Robert Quinlan). When I weighed myself this morning at home though, I was at 210 lbs. I can tell you that I am diligent with my water intake, but I am a little disappointed at my weight loss. I thought I would be losing more by now. I am too impatient!:smile: Looking forward to sharing with everyone..... Thanks
