My name is Ruth and I am waiting to see the doctor on July 23, 2008. I have lost 45 pounds on my own. I started this adventure in Jan of 2008. I have done this many times in my life. I really want to have this Lap Band procedure done. I have gone through all the requirements that I needed to. I am a little afraid that the doctor may say that I am not overweight enough for the procedure. I so hoping that this is not the case. This has been a battle for me all my life. I just wanted...

Well I figured it was time to start documenting everything, so here it goes. On March 10, my best friend was telling me about how we should get the lapband to lose weight. Now being a member of weight watchers for many years at first I was very against the idea (if you even mention it on the weight watchers boards you get yelled at!) Then I decided that maybe I should look into this and talk to my doctor. So I say my doctor on March 14 and she said that she thought it was a good idea. I called...

I would like to start off that I did walk 45 minutes and swim for an hour today. But, I did a little farewell tour to some foods this weekend. Last night it was Bojangles and today it was frozen pizza. I am done with the both of them.

I have a girls...

This is the review I wrote for him, don't feel like retyping.
Reading another positive review for Dr. Alvarez may seem redundant, but my was outstanding. Having found Dr. Alvarez online I was a little nervous, full of many "what if?" questions which were promptly answered by Susan and former patients. I was on a 2 week clear...

I am going through the first phase of getting prepared for my Lapband. I must admit that I am gaving a lot of different feelings, but I guess everyone else has experienced the same. I know that it is the best thing for me and I am going to need a very strong support base. My family is very supportive but I need support from all of you out there who have undergone the surgery.

Keep me in your prayers as I go through the process and with the surgery.
