Hi, I would love to come to NYC. It would depend on dates etc. Please keep me updated. Thanks angela

Hi, I had my date less than a month after psh. evaluation. I love my band and Dr. Byrne. I have lost about 40 pounds since June. It was the BEST thing I have ever done for myself. I was self pay so I am sure that help make things move alot faster.

Hey I am a new band person. I have not had a fill but will next week. My question is this: I live 5 hrs from the Doctor. How long does it take after a fill to know if the restriction is too much? I am so worried about getting a fill, going home and not being able to swallow. Any info would be appreciated.

I asked the same ? a couple of months ago. I was banded 2 weeks ago. I am 59 . I have had no problems and feel great. It is a tough decision but I am so glad I made it.

Hi, My friend and I were both banded on June 10. We had a very satisfactory experience with MUSC and Dr. Byrne and staff. You can't get more top notch I don't think. We are both 1 week out and doing great so far. We are 50plus too.

Wow, I love this thread and needed it so much.I am 58 and trying to decide whether to risk having lap band. It is so reassuring to hear that other "really old"people have survived the surgery. Please keep posting old people!!! I love to hear how well you are doing. ang

How long after surgery do you get to drink water? Do you have a catheter and when do they take it out?

Has anyone gone to Medical Univ. of South Carolina? Anyone been to Dr. Byrne? Info would be so appreciated. As

Has anyone had lapband with a condition called Essential Thrombocythemia? It is a disorder that causes production of too many platelets. I have ET but have been in remission 10 years. ???? anyone??? thanks aas
