Hi Kelly. You might have a little better luck in finding somebody near if you look under the "local lapband support group" section. It's broken down by state, and then smaller groups under each state. Good luck with the authorization.....that's the worst!!

Thanks I am dying with anticipation. I have been trying since last April and finally switched to a PPO in November. Since then its been smooth sailing so I hope it gets approved!!!!!

Hi Tracey,

I was banded Feb of 2008. It is an amazing experience. I highly recommend Dr. Billy. He doesn't band you and then leave you. They have so much support there. I am not the best at using the support anymore but I know its there now. His phone number is 676-9100. He also has an office in TO so you dont have to drive out to Ventura, although I like the office out there cuz the scale measures your whole body and its fun to see different parts shrink. Like now my legs are in the "normal zone" :). Best of luck to you. I'd like to know what you do.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
