Congrdads, I been a patient of Dr Minkin for about 15 months. I weighted 304 when I started the program and now I'm at 203. I am 6'2'' so I have almost reched my personal t my goal. I lost 90% of my weight in 10 months and I feel great! Good luck and if you have any questions let me know.

Don't get frustrated. I would reccomend that you find a good support group or a good " coach ". This approach will help you focus on the triggers, habits and reasons you might be slipping. remember the band is only one tool in your daily life that will assist you in reaching you goals if you have defined them. If I can help with any issues contact me. I'm 6-2 was banded 1/26/08 and weighted 304 today I'm at 203. i had my ups and downs but regained my focus and am very plesed with where I am today

Artiva, Good luck on the ninth and you can be confident that you'll be in good hands. Dr. Minkin has assembled a very good team. I have been a patient for a year and have nothing but great thing to say about the process that I've been through.

Hi all, I was banded by Dr. Minkin on 1/26/08. I weighted in at 305, today 5/16 /09 I'm at 203. I give some a of credit for my sucess to Minkin's approach to this program and his vigulance during f/u. He is commeted to the sucess of his patients, but he never lets you forget that you are responsible for you

I WAS BANDED IN JAN. AND I HAVE NOT HAD ANY HAIR LOSS PROBLEMS. i AM INVOLVED WITH THE LOCAL SUPPORT GROUP AND THERE HAVE BEEN NO COMPLAINTS. IT IS IMPORTANT TO FOLLOW YOU NUTRITIONIST DIETARY INSTRUCTIONS

Don't put it off. This procedure will just be another step in getting your new life off on a positive direction.

RAS, I think it's normal to feel nervous I know I was. The procedureis over before you know it and the results are worth it. I was banded on 1/26/08 and my wt was 304 lbs. i weighed today and I am at 211. Still a little way to reach wy goal but I'll get there and I bet you can make yours too. Good luck
