Thanks for the info. He is good. I haven't been to support group in a long time. Now that I've been banded I'm going to try and get there more often. Hope to see you tomorrow. Jill

StephC, I live in Johnstown, Pa. had my band done at Windber. I love it there. What in the name of the ps your going to? So I know who to see. Thanks

How do you know if your band slipped?

Hi Nicole, I too was banded in Windber by Dr. Marley. They are the best. I was banded Feb. 11 2008. Do you go to the support meeting? I haven't in awhile but plan to go in March. Stay in touch. Jill

I was just wondering if there is anyone for Johnstown, PA. or surrounding area who has been banded?

I have had my band since Feb 11th. I haven't felt it yet. I don't think you will but I don't know for sure.

Hi everyone I'm doing much better now that I'm mushy foods. It taste so good, but now I worry that I'm eating to much. I don't get my first fill until March 26st.

I have a slow thyroid and on med. for it. I wa banded on Feb. 11th and have lost 30lbs. total, but now that I'm on soft foods I haven't lost anything. I now worry about my throid causing problems.

I have a slow thyorid. Will that make it hard to loss even with the band? I'm on meds for it.

I was banded Feb. 11,2008 and I have lots of gas and get stomach cramp. Has anyone else had this?

I feel the same way,because they had to put a larger band on and it's still very tight. Dr. said I won't need a fill for a good while. Since the pre-op diet I have lost 29lbs. Banded on Feb 11, 2008. I'm really sorry that I had it done. I know I needed it but this life style sucks!
