Hi, everyone! I'm still in the research stage, but I'm looking into Dr. Higa in Fresno, CA. Has anyone had him do their lapband surgery? I'd love any info you can give me! Thanks!:help:

Dr. Higa did my surgery 1/15/08. He is an excellent Dr. and came highly recomended to me by another dr. who was denied by my insurance to do the surgery. Dr. Higa is very well respected in the medical world and does lots of training and lectures on weight loss surgery. I am very happy with him. He is really confident and knows what he is doing. All of the nurses at the hospitol told me I was having the very best dr. do my procedure. Another thing I like about him is his honesty. If you ask, he will answer!! Sometimes it's not what you want to hear, but he will be upfront all the time. A nurse from his office was always a phone call away post op. I had to call her three times the week after surgery with questions and was there to give advice.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
