My name is Jenn, and I am 6 weeks post-op today! I am excited to have found a place that is centered on the lap-band, because the recommended support groups from my doc where 99% gastric bypass. I have lost 41 pounds so far, and I am waiting on my first fill next week. I wish I had done this surgery years ago! I look forwar to meeting new people on here, and getting some great tips!!:thumbup:

Hi everyone, my name is Jen, and one of my friends suggested this site to me after we discussed the lapband procedure. I have been considering gastric bypass, but am very nervous, as I know a few people that have had major complications from it. I have PCOS, and have gained probably 175+ lbs in the past 4 years. I have the extra hair on my chin- so embarassing:o - and I can not get pregnant. I am going to be 26 next month, and I desperately want to do something about my weight, and my PCOS. I am still pretty unclear as to the whole surgery/procedure, so if anyone can give me any info., or the name of a doctor in the So. Cal.- Orange County- area, it would be MUCH appreciated! Thanks Ladies! Jen
