Has anyone in Las Vegas had the lapband done by Dr Lyass?

He did mine last January 25, 2013.

How did it go? What are your results? Any complications or problems? How was the Dr and staff?

I really like him. The staff were incredible. My surgery went great, no complications or problems at all.

What have been your results?

Results as in weight loss???

Yes and how you feel

My weight loss results is on my ticker....you can see it on my posts. Weight loss is going to be different from each individual. I was back to work after 2 weeks after the surgery. I am not going to lie to you but the first 2 weeks of the diet was tough (liquid diet). Now I am on regular food. I can eat anything I want but smaller portions. I had my first fill 2 weeks ago. I am losing about 2-3 lbs per week for now. I feel great and just had blood test done with my primary doc and all my levels are now normal.

1 more visit then off to get approval from the insurance.. Cannot wait.. When exactly does the Dr put you in the pre op diet?

He only put me on a 1 day pre op diet. Good luck.

June 28th is the date! I'm nervous And scared

I was too before the surgery but it was the best decision for me. Good luck on your surgery and keep us posted.

I'm thinking about having this done and I am very questionable about the cost. Did you have insurance pay or did you pay the cash pay price? If you paid the cash pay have you seen any other bills that you are responsible for above and beyond the cost of they quoted you. Thanks!

hi areli, i'm going to have my surgery at the end of aug. by dr. lyass. just had the sleep test done, next is the endo. how did you like him & the staff?

Hi, I had my surgery on 6/28 and so far I'm doing much better....Dr was nice, met him the day before surgery and the day of surgery, the staff is also very nice and helpful. Don't have any complaints (so far) , good luck and I'm here for you if you have any questions.

Thanks I appreciate it!. Can I ask you how long you were off work?
