Which Drs have you looked at? I have used Dr Rantis for LapBand fills but I and now looking around to see who is the best for Revision. I am also considering going out of state if I have to. Can you share some of your thoughts?

Thanks, I will look him up. Good luck to you. I am so nervous and really did not want to do this in the first place. I am so scared of what kind of damage the lap band might have done.

@ Melissa have you tried university of Chicago? They have a very well established program and excellent program. I had my sleeve by the most jr partner de prashad she is awesome!!! From what I've heard from other patients the sr partner is much more awesome, which I can't imagine, because de prashad was soo nice and good. From what I understand dr prashad is the laporscopic king. I did once work as a bariatric coordinator about 10 years ago, and even then that was the place to go to if you had problems or complications from wls. Yes it is also a center of excellence. Their process is very efficient and they have nurse practicioners that work hand in hand with you. I highly recommend them. Feel free to pm or ask any questions.

Good luck to all of you... We should totally get a Chicago meet up going.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
