I had the lap band did on 6/3/09 and I am excited about beginning my journey.So far everything has been fine. I had it did in New Orleans with Dr. Todd Belot.He and his staff are great. They did my procedure at 7:30 am and we spent the nite in a hotel just in case I had problems. We were up by 4am and made the 4 hour trip home.Was a little sore but have not taken anything for pain since Thursday.I feel fine.

Hello Jose, I was banded on 6/3/09 and I understand what you are saying about being hungry. The protein drinks do seem to help me. Good luck to you!

Hi, I live in Delhi and I am seriously considering lapband. Are you happy with your surgery and Dr. Cribbins? Also what is the approximate cost? I am absolutely miserable and just had a Dr. visit today with high blood pressure.I would appreciate any information you would be willing to share. Thanks
