Anyone going to Dr Snyder's seminar tonight? I would love a buddy!

Lisa

Lisa,

I'll be there and would be happy to be your buddy. I"m new to all this, and just learning about my options.

My name is Nora, and I'll be wearing a white t, black floral skirt, and black and white sandals.

See you tonight - save me a seat.

Nora:ohmy:

Ok Nora, I will look for that skirt! If you spot me first, I'm a blonde college student with light jean capris and a colorful tank top!

Hope we can find each other somewhere. I've been researching this since February and a frequent this site so I am actually very knowledgable on the whole thing, especially the insurance part since i've gone through three different types!

I won't be going to the seminar tonight, but Dr. Snyder did my surgery in December 2007. He is awesome!!

So good to hear I'm in good hands, how are the facilities at Rose?v

I did stay overnight at Rose, my surgery was late in the afternoon. I had great caregivers. You are going to do just great.

You are sweet! Thanks! Will keep posted.

please keep in touch with me!

Dr Snyder did my surgery in May and he did a great job! you are in good hands! good luck!

Seems just a short time ago that I went to Dr. Snyder's seminar. Now I am banded and I am so happy that I made the decision to have him do my surgery. My experience with him has been all good. And I really like Amanda, the person who does the fills.

Amanda is awesome. And she lives with the band, so she can truly say shes been there.

I think most of Dr. Snyder's staff are lapbanders. Successful lapbanders at that.

I don't have any of the complications I read about on this board. I am not hungry. Not in any pain. I know what to do, what to eat, am losing weight, and feel great. The other thing I like is the ongoing support and classes.

Lisa,

I'm so glad we found each other at the seminar! I am very excited, and have an appointment with Dr. Kirshenbaum for a consult on 8/8. Please keep in touch and let me know what's going on with you!

Thanks everybody for the reassurance about good experiences with Dr. K.

How is it working for everybody in social situations? Do other people comment on what or how much you are eating?

Also, do you feel the port much, or is it visible under the skin once you reach your goal weight?

Thanks all.

Nora, I had a great time, and I scheduled my consult today, but they are very backed up as you can see by my signature. Good luck and keep in touch!

No one really seems to notice how little I eat in social situations because I eat so slow, it takes me just as long to finish.

My port does not show at all. Just the scar is visible.

Wow lots of Dr Snyder patients. He did my band on June 5th, 2008 I am just 7 weeks out. Lucky me may have another surgery soon as well by him. Seems my gall bladder decided to go on the fritz. I have an appt with him on Wed. Since he banded me, he will do the gall bladder too. I have loved everyone there. Amanda is awesome and truly understands. She picked up on my gall bladder during a fill when I mentioned an ache in my upper right side. She's had her's out too so knew just what I was talking about and scheduled the ultrasound. I've had one fill and am doing great, however, I need another and am hopeful to get it on Wed. but that depends on Dr. S and gall bladder I guess. Also, he has so many support groups at all times and all over the city. I had gone to 2 other seminars and called one other surgeons office that didn't do seminars and am truly pleased with my choice.
