My girlfriend has fibro. She lost 140 lbs with LB. She still has the fibro but it doesn't get as severe pain.

I suffered from migraines since I was 10 yrs old. I've tried every med, witch doctor, acupucture and homemade cocktails to get rid of them. Imitrex worked well but my doctor was afraid I was addicted to them ( I was) so she tried giving me a "Beta-Blocker" called Inderal (sp). This was an amazing pill that I take daily and have been migraine free for over 5 years. Ask your doctor to give it a try. Good luck, gayle

Very nice!

Could you have put some lead weights in your pockets to look like a weight gain????

Danny, does your doctors office offer support meetings? I know my doctor has supports twice a week. I'm just at the beginning stages of LB. Maybe OA meeting may help you. Good luck, gayle

I'm waiting to be approved by insurance. When approved my only cost will be $150.00. Fills will be $15.00. Wish me luck!

Hi Tammy, I have HNE but just started the process. My gf had the LB 3 years ago and she was approved immediately. I think from start to finish she was done in 3 months or less. I think the 6 months waiting and going to WW really sucks. If it was that easy we all go to WW and forget LB. Good luck, Gayle

Hi Melissa, on thur 3/6/08 my primary doctor has referred me to Dr. Fiallo. Will be attending my first meeting soon. My gf was banded 3 years ago by Dr. Fiallo and she has done wonderful (over 120lbs). Look forward to gathering as much info as possible. What is the turn around time from start to being banded? Thanks, Gayle

How did you get the ticker to show up on your post?

Hi, I just joined today. My primary doctor asked me to consider lapband and has referred me to a surgeon. We can start our journey together.
