Hi OC bandsters. I was banded on Feb 19th by Dr Francis. She works out of Orange Coast Memorial Hospital. I live in Whittier and work in Brea.

Isn't Dr. Francis GREAT!!!
I had my surgery on Jan 8, 2008 and have lost 30lb. She and her staff have treated me like a queen.
Good Luck and hope to see you around the boards!

Hi
I am scheduled to have the lap band in April but am getting kind of nervous about it. Are you happy about it now that you've had it a few years?

I'm working towards being banded. I have over 3 mo. of my supervised diet done. I've chosen Dr. Francis in Fountain Valley at Memorial Care Hospital. It's good to hear good things about her. I have already expected as much. I pray every thing will go well and I will be banded this summer. Good luck!

You will totally love Dr. Francis and the entire group. She takes the time to answer all of your questions and never makes you feel that any question is silly.
This is the best thing I've ever done for me....good luck!

Hey Sassy, I love Dr Francis too. I am going to get my first fill on April 2nd. I can't wait. I am hungry all the time so I am hoping that a fill will help with that. How long have you had your band?

JeaLee, I had my Surgery January 8, 2008 and I've lost almost 40lbs without a fill. How about you?
I was and have been very lucky..no pain with the surgery and I really have not been too hungry.
Good luck with your fill and have fun with your new journey.

Congratulations on your surgery date. Who is your doctor going to be? I'll be finished with my six month weight loss supervised diet just about June 4, so I wont be far behind you...I hope. I'll be interested to see how you do. Good luck!

I'm in Garden Grove and am still in the first stages of Lap Band. I've been approved by insurance and have been to 2 seminars. I guess now it's just choosing a surgeon.
Anyways nice to be here and have this support for my future journey!! | |
