Dr. Dale Sloan - sleeve??
meldlc37 replied to iamchrisstone's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
I went to Dr. Sloan and had the lapband in November 2009 and he is awesome. He does the sleeve now, we had an x-mas party in December2010 and his fist Sleeve patient was there. I'm not sure on the cost, good luck. -

3rd fill and felling pain....help!
meldlc37 replied to ocreina41's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I just went through this, on Feb. 18th I got my 3rd fill. I was in so much pain when I tried to eat, it felt as if someone was in my stomach cutting me every time I ate. My doc. said to stay on protein shakes and liquides for awhile(till I felt better). Well after about 2-3 weeks I was good to go. I feel great now, just give it some time. Hope this helps, good luck. -
I was bandedon on 11/25/09 and I just had my 3rd fill on Feb.18th. I felt the same way u do, it hurt so bad to eat just yogurt or broth (it felt like someone was cutting my insides when I tried to eat). I called my Doc. and he said to give it a few more days, and he was right, I feel great. He said I might be really swollen with this fill. Good luck I hope this helps.

First steps, any advice??
meldlc37 replied to spaceycasey's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Congrats spaceycasey, that's great about your insurance. I as well had no other problems due to my weight, excapt a high BMI and I just had my band in November. It was the best thing I've ever done for me :thumbup:. I've lost over 40lb so far and 27 inches, I'm loving my band. Good luck and keep us all updated.:thumbup: -

Welcome Beatriz, I too was heavy as a child and it just progressed as I got older. I was banded November 25th 2009, and it was the best thing I've ever done for myself. I have lost 40 lbs so far and 27 inches. I feel great and people notice I'm losing. It feels great to run into someone I have'nt seen for awhile and have them comment on how good I look. I was on this sight for awhile before I had my band and it answered alot of questions and fears that I had. I hope you get all your questions answered and make the best decision for you. Good luck, let us know how you're doing.
