Been struggling with my weight for many, many years. Tried everything including Weight Watchers, Phen-Fen, Meridia and everything in between. I could always lose, but always gained the weight back plus more. Just had my lap band surgery a few days ago, on December 11, 2008. Starting weight was about 235-240. Am feeling pretty good already, taking walks and following the clear liquid diet for the next two weeks.
I had some troouble with the lap band which did not work well for me (only lost about 40 pounds). To make a long story short, Dr. Thoman performed revision surgery on me in September 2012. The lap band was removed and I had the verticle sleeve gasterectomy. (VSG). I have now lost close to 100 pounds and it is more than 6 years later and I'm keeping it off! (Current weight is about 145.) I think the scar tissue from the lap band has helped me from over-eating. I still have acid reflux though unfortunately.
Am so happy I found Dr. Thoman.
