need a sponsor that has had a lapband
Randy what do you mean by "Sponsor"? If your using Dr.Baum as you Pschologist, I know they require you get someone who has received the sames surgery as your hoping to receive who is also at the least 6 months post-op, so you have a personal friend to ask questions besides waiting for a reply from a message board or your surgeon as sometimes we hesitate with some questions because we think their just too silly to ask.
But really no questions are too silly please ask. Such as will you be attending the OH Conference in Orlando? The Palms of Pasadena is Sponsoring the "Meet & Greet".

Hey Randy! Congrats on your decision- I had the lap band put in last October, and have had really good experiences with it. If you are looking for a band buddy- I can help! I don't know what criteria you need to accept a buddy, so I will be happy to share anything I know to help you.
I am also here in St. Pete, which is a bonus. My surgeon is Dr. Murr in Tampa, but have been considering going to Rehnke for fills(IF I can get an answer form Susan Kay about my insurance... that is a whole different issue!). Anyhow, if I can help or you'd like to accept my offer- please email me! Good luck- this is a crazy and delightful ride!

I had a lap band done on November 29 by Dr. Murr. He's wonderful. He does the fills at TGH Harborside. I have been having success but ran into a problem with a flipped port. I had to be readmitted and the correction was made. It was brutal but I survived.
I've lost 2 sizes in clothing so I'm quite happy from a 28 to under a 24 is right on target for me. Can you let me know how you are doing.
