  1. I work in Herndon, VA and live in Fairfax.
  2. Thanks, I would like to participate. I am six months Post-op.
  3. Thanks. I'm always paranoid about band slippage. But my doctor has assured me that it almost never happens unless you consistently/severely abuse your new limit. So far I've lost 72 punds since I began pre-op (50 pounds since post-op). Because of my success I had the band tightened for the 1st time just this past weekend. Though my portion are greatly diminished, I've noticed that I am eating still more than 3oz. My recent tightening was only the minimum (2 cc). Is my eating a little more than 3oz ok? Sorry for the long question.
  4. My surgeon, stiched part of the stomach tissue over the band to further help keep it in place. This is part of his normal routine in the procedure. However, he did tell me that not all surgeons do it for it is not a "required" part of the procedure. Did anyone elses surgeon perform that technique?
