New comer to lapband talk



Recommended Posts

My name is tessa1 and I was banded 1/08. I've lost 83 lbs. since 10/07 and am about 5 lbs. to goal. It has been a very rewarding journey and sometimes very difficult. I just try every day and keep very active.

My Dr. was Dr. Wetter from San Mateo, CA area.:cool2:

Hey lizzy h,

I agree the Mills support group is very good.

Who did your lap band???

Dr. Wetter did mine.

I think he is a wonderful Dr.

dr upadhyay in oakland. although I believe wetter may be the most talented surgeon I learned the hard way that he is a pompous ass. He really very badly played with my mind and in the end to preserve my insurance approval and actually have the surgey I had to switch surgeons....if you want all dirt i can share, but it basically comes down to wetter is great in the OR, and outside of there he sucked for me....but hey because of him I had the band and not the rnx, i lost 40 lbs preop - more then was needed, and yvette processed my insurance paperwork so efficiently that i had a really fast approval,,,,,and the best part is I found the mills group. So part of the crap t hat I had to deal with sucked, but there were definate bright spots

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
