I posted this elsewhere but I'm not sure it was the right place so I am going to try here.

Hello! I've been sitting on the paperwork to get this process going since about October 2008. I have spent the weekend reading and reading and more reading here in the forums. I've made up my mind, I am filling the paper work out, I have appointment with my PCP next week and I'm going to get this ball rolling!!!!

I'm tired of being fat, I'm tired of the physical pain, I'm tired of not being able to enjoy life, I'm tired of not being able to move, I'm tired of not being able to do things I enjoy AND I'm just tried of being tired! End of story!

Are there any bandsters or soon to be bandsters that are in the Buffalo/Niagara area that have preferably used Synergy Bariatrics? I'm looking to connect with others that have been through the process w/Dr Viglianco. I know there are many who have utilized BGH. I tried 4 times to get the application packet and got nothing! I had the info from Synergy in 3 days.

So, I would love to talk with others who are in the process or already been through it.

Thanks!!

want to be thin, I lived my whole life in Syracuse New York and they did not have any dr doing lap band in any place other than NYC 5 years ago? I moved to AZ and got banded 12/20/08 and am down 55 pds, good luck and let me know how you do?

I went thru Synergy Bariatrics and Dr. Viglianco did my lap band. He is great!
