That is great to hear! I thought he was very nice but was wondering if anyone had surgery with him so I'm happy to hear that it was a good experience. How are you feeling 6 months later? Have you had good weight loss or any complications? Really trying to do my research to make sure this is going to be the right choice for me. I'm very nervous about the stuck episodes, burping all the time or hair loss. Have you experienced any of these problems? Thanks for any information you don't mind sharing with me.

I lost 87 lbs and feel great:)no hair loss a few episodes.where I vomitted but i didnt chew properly.

Wow 87 lbs is wonderful! Congratulations! i appreciate your time. Did you consider the sleeve at all instead of lap band? I know the Dr. does all surgeries and they talked to me about the sleeve but I still think I would rather the lap band. How often do you have to go to Dr. F office for check ups or fills?

No i am happy with my band and my surgeon.love my band just filmed a comercial about it:)
