Hello,

I was banded Feb 27th at DePaul hospital St Louis, MO by Dr de la Torre. If you are near or around the St Louis Area and looking for a doctor and group of people dedicated to the Lap Band and other forms of weight loss. I would recommened Dr. de la Torre and the DePaul Weight Loss Group. I can not say enough nice things about them.

I am going on 3 weeks past surgery and am feeling great. I have to say that my port area is still tender - especially if I am wearing tight waisted pants - but other then that - all is well. Hopefully the tenderness will get better as I loose weight and the waist band gets loose.

I love this website and happy to meet everyone in the community.

Congradulations on being banded. There are several people on this board that have had Surgery at Depaul and also at DesPers. I have had my band six months as of today. I love it and would do it again. If you have any questions or need advice just ask away.
