HI - My name is Martin, along with my wife Brandie. We are considering getting banded, and we have our first apponintment to talk to the Dr in 2 weeks. We have done a lot of research, and found this forum to be informational. It is nice to be able to read about others experiences, and have another resource to go to for questions and answers!

Hi Martin,

If you have any questions, I work in a Drs office and answering those questions is my job. What city are you in. I am not trying to steer you to one dr or another but I am offering my help. I live in LA. If you have questions send me an email.

I My wife and I had the Lap Band 9 months ago. My wife has not lost as much weight as I have. I have lost over 80 lbs. It has been a totally great experience for me.

John
