Brandy, I have to tell you that I am SO jealous of you! I can't wait to get down below 200 for the first time in about 17 years. I have just moved into the...
Kelli, Don't give up thats about all I can say to give you advice. It isn't easy, but you can do it. Just keep working out and follow the diet guidelines they...

i had my surgery last nov and have only had 2 fills. is it normal to have more fills in a shorter time? In a message dated 9/10/2008 7:48:04 P.M. Pacific...
Hi Kelli, I understand your frustration. I am by no means an expert and can only repeat things that I have been told. Are you drinking enough water? They...
Deb, From what my Dr has told me it sould like you are too tight. I think your weight loss is good though. I had my surgery 13 MAY 2008 and I was 244 pounds...
Kelly, I agree with Ann I don't think you are getting enough calories, my Dr's office advised between 1000-1200 a day. And I think it is normal too lost a lot...

It is looking like my insurance will not cover my procedure. I am prepared to finance it, but I can't afford $17,000. I have found a place I can afford with a...
Risse, there are a couple of doctors in the Wichita area, but Weight Loss Surgical Center does about 95% of all Lap-Bands for patients in Wichita and western...
I, too had to go the expense on my own - the $17,000 which, needless to say, well exceeded the amount of my savings. Unfortunately, at this point (5 months...
Julie ann, be careful of who you go to for your surgery. There are many surgeons doing the band and 50% of them charge less then WLSC. But most of these...
I am in wichita--we have quite a large contingent here who have been banded in KC by WLSC--call the office that Douge talked about. I'm taking my friend and...
If you get either of the FDA approved bands, it is my understanding that they will do the after care. Here in wichita, at our support meetings, we have...
