I am in the process of going through the initial steps. I've been to a meeting, had the first consultation and have an appt. with the dietitian. I have to lose a few pounds first. Waiting to hear if my insurance covers this. If the stars are aligned it looks like late spring, early summer. My step sister is also going through the process and a good friend had it done late last year. There seem to be a lot of people getting this done at Cheshire Medical, we should all band together. (pun intended!)

Hi I'm fairly new to the site and have an appointment with Dr. Dupuis on 3/11 .... final step in the process and will get my surgery date then, I'm hoping to have it done by late March or early April!

I was so excited to find this forum. I'd welcome any feedback on the surgery, post op, and my doctor

Congrats to all who have been banded I hope everyone is doing well!

HI

I had my surgery by Dr. Dupuis on 5/1/2012, and had my first fill of 3cc on 5/30/2012. I am currently at 6cc and getting another fill on Monday. I am not sure on the actual weight loss since I started the process but I will ask at my next appointment.

It was a smooth process for me and I am loving the fact that I am loosing weight!!! I am fitting into clothes that I havent been able to in years.

Good Luck to anyone who is thinking about getting LapBand and it was the smartest thing I have ever done!!!!!
