Hello, well tomorrow is the seminar and I'm at work trying to think up things to ask, but I guess the nerves are destroying brain cells. I cant seem to think...I only got 3 questions written down...

1. In your experience have patients that have PCOS and pre-diabetic find it still extremely difficult to lose weight w/ the band?

2. How many patients have had problems w/ band and have to have it removed?

3. How many bands have you done?

They sound TOTALLY LAME dont they?? I know there is tons of stuff I want to know and ask, but for the life of me I cant think of them...damn it!!! LOL

Please help me!!!

I might have put this in the wrong forum....i'll copy and put it somewhere else!! thanks anyway

Not lame at all. Sounds like you're in the right place to me! If your band is used correctly and you tune in to your body and modify your eating the band will work for you (now when I say this I do NOT mean "going on a diet" or "giving up all the foods you love".) There are no bads foods, just bad portions. Poor portion control is the single worst offense we commit. The band will take care of that for you. Do ask your doctor how many bands he has done. I hope you are in or near a large city to have a thoroughly experienced surgeon do your procedure (mine has done THOUSANDS). You don't want someone who hasn't done a LOT of surgeries like this. There can be complications with any surgical procedure, but putting yourself in the most capable hands mitigates that risk substantially.
