    Miami Florida Sleevers?

    I was sleeved June 3rd. I went with Dr. Jacobs. By far the greatest thing I have done. I am 7 weeks today and down 66 pounds. Listen to the doctor and start walking as soon as you can.

  4. Mark thanks for the inspiration. I was sleeved June 3rd and was 481 pounds. A week later I am down to 454. But reading this lets me no it is possible
  5. sorry I didn't get back to you all spoke to the doctor said that I probably just tore a little bit of the glue over the suture and that as long as its not red smelly or painful I have no infection and just rest up until it stops
  6. Hey sorry I didn't get back to all of you. The doctor did call me back. Said that I probably cracked the glue a little. Said if it is not red, painful our smelly that I have no infection and take it easy so that it can seal up.
  7. The doctors office had an emergency call number. I called and they said they will contact the doctor and get back to me

  13. 1 years has passed since you registered at LapBandTalk! Happy 1st Anniversary flaco88!

  14. Hi, my name is Jeff and I am 22 years old. I used to be thin while in high school but I got injured playing sports and stopped but kept eating. I went to a seminar today near my home and met with a doctor about getting the LAP-BAND® done. The doctor said how the LAP-BAND® is mainly for people who eat a lot of food but doesn't work on people that eat a lot of soft calories like soda, milk shakes soft breads etc. So I got really happy because I felt he was describing me. Then he goes on to say that people who are at my weight and BMI have a very low success rate. That I am better of getting the bypass. That with the LAP-BAND® I will only lose 100 or so pounds and that I wouldn't be happy. I have another apt with another doctor on Thursday but I would like to hear it from people that have gone through this. Thanks a lot I weight 430 lbs and a BMI of 62
