Has anyone bought this program, and if so what did you think?

Heck no I would never spend 300 dollars on an online course. You don't know if he is a real doctor or not. I would just talk to your surgical team, nutritionist and take there advise.

just come here. most of your questions are answered here. take the advice or take the questions to your own doctor. you always want to follow your own doctor. my doctor has a online video to watch and it's free. perhaps yours does too

I about died when I saw how much it was! I was just curious. I just started coming back here and I am glad I did. Hoping to get myself together.

Thanks all.

Why do people make this out to be more difficult than it actually is????

My Dr. had a 10 week course (actually a little longer).....starting from the day of surgery....it was regular office visits 4 weeks apart for weigh ins, some Q&A, perhaps a fill.....

He made it perfectly clear, having that Yellow-Green-Red Chart on the wall, that that was exactly where he wanted me to be....through a series of visits and fills......

First phase - pre surgery, then then actual day of surgery

2nd Phase....series of office visits and adjustments to get the band properly working as it is designed to do....

3rd Phase.....go live your new life to it's fullest...

B-52,

I wish I could say I had the support you seem to have. I was banded in Mexico back before it was readily available in the U.S. I sometimes wish I would have waited a few years and had it done locally but I didn't.

Sounds like there are a lot of new things they are doing to help patience with their weight loss. Yellow-green-red chart on wall, sounds interesting, and a 10 week course would be nice.

I did find a local Dr. To do my fills, she only does fills and is a Family Practitioner not a surgeon. It has been over three and a half years since I last saw her. I just called today and set up a fill date for Dec. 19th, excited but nervous too.

I'm hoping to get to the third phase you mentioned above.

Wish me luck!!

Hi there, I think this is the Dr. Simpson who wrote an excellent piece that a few people here have links to in their signatures -- The LapBand Is Not About Restriction. I've gotten a lot out of that article and I'll bet there's lots of free Simpson stuff on-line.

I believe this was the physician that was found to be partially negligent in a law suit involving a death of a woman following weight loss surgery. The jury awarded her husband 1.38 million dollars if the information is correct.
