Hello from Berlin, PA. I've had my band since the day after Christmas. My surgeon was Dr. Kim Marley. He used to teach this procedure at John Hopkins in D.C. then he moved to Pennsylvania after retiring from the Army. My daughter and I did this together. It was our Christmas present to ourselves! I've lost about 50 lbs. and have had 1 fill. I'm to go this week for another fill as I've hit a plateau and have stopped losing. Also my daughter is going to Italy in May. Does anyone know of any Lapband doctors in Italy incase something happens over there with her?

Thanks

Rose

Mdbanded4life. Congratulations on your weight loss success so far! Wow. 50 lbs!! Was it hard adjusting to band life? i'll be banded on Apr. 28th. I think you should put your question about any Italian doctors under a different heading like "Looking for Italian doctors"?? Just a thought. Good luck.
