The Bandster A Dying Breed?



Recommended Posts

The doctor I use in MA is strictly in the lap band business, he does no other wls. He has done over 1200 Bands and is AWESOME at what he does. He believes in specializing in one field an perfecting it. If anyone is in the Boston area, Adam Glasgow is phenomenal! We call him by his first name and if you have an issue, he calls you back within minutes... Even if it's weekend, middle of the night or he's on vacation. Doesn't matter, this is his life he loves what he does and it shows in his patient care :)

My surgeon doesn't do the sleeve or bypass. Maybe he feels like it interferes with the normal bodily functions whereas the band doesn't. That's my take on the other procedures . It's just opinions but he was has done over 600 bands I believe... That tells me something.

My surgeon also does only lap band. He is also a trauma surgeon. He's done over 1000 bands and lost one due to blood clots ( at least he discloses) he is awesome and so is the hospital he works out of. dr. Coirin- Modesto cab

I know people who have failed on Bypass too! Then theres the Bypass to Band people! The Sleeve is just a new method of stomach stapling! Yikes! So far, I love my Band I couldnt have gotten this far without it and I know we are going to take it all the way to goal!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
