I have just begun the process and am going through the Emerson Hospital in Concord. It seems like they are very thorough. Make you eat high protein low carbs for at least 4 weeks before they even will consider you. I was hungry for the first two weeks but I think in the long run it will help you to be successful. Good luck.

lfein229........I feel good, I look good. What else can I say? I've had no problems. I like Dr. Fiallo and his staff alot. I'm down about 68 pounds since I started this adventure in June. Lost 20 pounds pre-op and the balance post-op. I love my band!

Did it take awhile for his office to contact you? I've been waiting a call now for almost 2 weeks since I attended the seminar.

If I remember they called me within a few days of the seminar. Maybe you should call them. It can't hurt. Have you decided which doctor you want? Dr. Fiallo is who my primary doctor recommended and I did research on him so I went with him, I don't know much about Dr. Haag but I hear he too is excellant. I don't think you can go wrong with either. The support groups they have, both pre-op and post-op are wonderful too.
