Hi Tess,

Hi Marge! I am very happy with the results so far. Next month is my one year bandiversary and I have a total of 80 lbs off so far. No regrets!!!

The only thing I wish is that they had provided a way for all of us people interested in the support group a way to keep in contact... I was just starting to meet a few regulars and then it just ended:(

You will be so glad you did it!!!! Congratulations on having a date!!! I wish you good luck and happy losing!!!!

Its nice to meet you!!!

Tess

Hi Marge,

I am from NW Ohio and am educating myself on Lap band surgery. My doctor suggested I look into it. Could I ask the name of the doctor doing your procedure and the names of doctors doing the procedure at St. Luke’s.

You can reply by email, if you prefer.

Thanks

Tom

Hello Tom,

My doctor is Peter Lalar at Wood County Hospital. There are two other docs at St. Lukes named Duckett and someone else I can't remember. I have heard good things about St. Lukes. I chose Wood County because it's literally 2 miles from my house. Dr. Laler lives in my neighborhood too so I feel connected to him as community folk. 48 hours to go before surgery. I am getting pretty excited.

Thanks Marge for the info. I live in Fremont and am at the educational phase. Does Dr Lalor do very many lapband procedures?

Good luck and keep us posted.

Thanks again....

Dr. Laler has only been at Wood county for the past year or so. He did most of his practice up in Maine. He's done hundreds of bypasses and gastric sleeves. He has only done 20 or so lapbands. I will be 1 of 2 lapbands he does for the first time at Wood County tomorrow. He needed two candidates and a physician rep from the Lapband company to be present for his proctoring at this hospital. Going in the future he can schedule lapbands routinely. He is more a proponent for bypass and sleeve but he agrees there are certain people, myself included, who could do very well with the lapband.

Hello, I was recently banded on Oct. 19th 2009. Dr. Duckett did my surgery. I was asking his office staff about a support group and all that was said was that the were working on it. I'm intrested in helping start one if there is enough people interested.

Hope all is well.

Jeremy

Hi Jeremy! I just found your post regarding a support group for Dr. Duckett's patients. I was banded Jan. 19, 2009 by Drs. Duckett & Oweis at Flower Hospital. I have nothing but praise for both doctors. They are exceptional surgeons. I also had my gallbladder removed by them and would most certainly have them do any further surgeries if needed. My only issue is the lack of a supportt groupf for theirr lap band patients. Let me know if you have had any success in locating and or starting a support group.Thanks~Stacy

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
