I'm 2-1/2 years out and the band is still fantastic for me. Last fill I ever got was in 2008. Restriction has held, band seems to be doing its job. I have allowed myself at times to be lazy in eating the right things, and so am only down 63 lbs of my intended total of 93. But I am back on track, counting calories, getting the Protein in first, followed by veggies, then whole grains. It's amazing how hard it is to get in enough calories for the day when I actually eat right!

Dropping like a rock, now. Thanks, Dr. Brown!

I was a self-pay and had my surgery at Lowry.

I am over 3 years out (March 2008) & while Dr. Brown wasn't my primary bariatric doctor when I had my surgery (That role went to Dr. Metz as he was at P/SL at the time), he was on the surgery team & took the time to visit me in my room the next morning (I had to spend a couple of days in the hospital due to other medical issues I have). I too highly recommend him :)

Shavona, don't forget there's also the support group as well. We meet on the third Wednesday of the month usually at the hospital (Though on occasion we also meet at area grocery stores too) & there's the online group as well (Just give Jodi your email address so she can add you to the list). The online group is a 24/7 thing (Though staff do have dedicated hours in which they'll be on).

I imagine by now, you're just now beginning to wonder what you've done to yourself by going from not puking at all when you eat to puking at least once a day. That's normal. The dumping is something you're gonna have to get used to but it's well worth it :)

Best of luck

See ya at the meetings sometime Shav.....

Cheers :D
