I highly reccomend Dr St Laurent.I had a person from work that reccomended him and he has lost over 100lbs.What I like about Dr St Laurent is that he visits with you on you're return visits.He has you do a test where he sees if you can eat 8 oinces of beef and doues you're adjustmens accordingly.Some of the other doctors just go by a barieum x ray and that isn't enough.I have had 2 fills and I feel like I am where I want to be.I have been trying to have the surgey for over 2 years but ran into problems because I am a heart patient.I have been very selective because of this and felt comfortable with him and had confidence in him with his background.My wife used another big name Dr and I am not happy with him and the follow ups she is receiving.I had my surgery done Sept 29 and have lost 28 lbs and lost 36 lbs since labor day.If you have any questions let me know and I will give you my email or phone number.

Dear chickie. Thanks for the respone.I do not have the shoulder painbut my diaphram was tight yesterday but isn't so bad today.I went to the office today to use the computor.I also gained 5lbs,but it is coming off today.I am glad you can eat yogurt and malt o meal.My wife had the surgery a year ago so i knew about the gas.sometimes being around her really cleans out the sinus.Let me know how you are doing. Brian

Thanks for the response.I had my surgery yesterday.I didn't have too much pain.The gas was a little bad yesterday but tollerable.I havn't had much of a appetite.I had a Protein shake this morning and a cup of coffee.They fixed my hiatal hernia and the acid reflux is almost gone.I am 48 years old and had a triple bypass 6 years ago.I was blessed with my miracle daughter 3 years ago and my cardiologist told me this would add 20 years to my life so I will be at my daughters college graduation.I have been waiting for 2 years to have this operation but incured 2 blockages and got a clean bill of help finally.Let's keep informed. Brian

I am know scheduled for the 25.I am from houston and was scheduled for the 16th and was canceled because of the huricane.I was scheduled for today but the anthesialogists would'nt do the surgery because ofmy heart condition and felt it would be better to do it in a hospital.So I have to waite 2 more days.I have been wanting this surgery for 2 years but ran into problems because of my heart condition.I am excited and will let you know how things are going and would like any advice for the first week. Brian

Hi. I m trying to decide between the sleeve vs the band.I am a heart patient and can"t risk doing a surgery too risky.I just got the ok from my cardiologist too have the surgery. I have been waiting for two years.I just learned about the sleeve and am leaning towards it but I am concurned on how long they have been doing this procedure.I like the fact that it reduces the grelin in youre stomak reducing hunger and cravings.I would like to hear from others.
