I will be getting myband on 11/20/09 by Dr Reich and so happy 12 days to go to my new life start pre op dite i dont think it will be to hard

How did your surgery go?? and how are you doing now?? and are you happy with Dr. Reich?? I will also be using him....but because of my insurance - I'm in month 2 of my 6 month wait.

I was banded on Oct 23, 2009 by Dr. Reich. Let me say he's an awesome surgeon and everyone at his office is so carring. I would also recommend going to the support groups once a month. You can go before your surgery. They are also at SOCH the 2nd Wednesday of every month at 7pm. We are next to the cage in the cafeteria (door next to the cage).

I have successfully lost 41lbs since surgery. And they are also very good with the fills too. If you have any questions at all. Please feel free to add me as a friend.

I would definately recommend Dr. Reich's office to everyone. He has changed my life.

Hi, I have my first appt with Dr Reich's office on Monday. I'm concerned if I'm even going to qualify due to my 2008 & 2009 weights being just under a 35 BMI. MY current weight is over a 35 and I have diabetes (not insulin dependent), high triglicerides & hypothyroidism.

Can you tell me about his staff and he does the pre & post op diet, also how soon do you get fills after surgery?

I've also read a lot about bandsters not being able to swallow pills anymore. Does Dr Reich say no to this as well?

Thanks so much!

I was banbded by Dr. Johnathan Reich on 1-21-2011. I have lost 42lbs so far. I have had 2 fills both done by Dr. Reich. I absolutely love him and his entire office staff. Very easy to get an appointment.

Three ladies in my workplace, including me, all banded by Dr, Reich. Great surgeon and the staff is the best. Very serious about ensuring good outcomes. Week and a half post-op now and down 10 lbs.
