Hi!

 Hi Everyone.... 

My name is Lisa.  I haven't been around here in a long while.  
I had the lap band procedure 2 years ago with little success. 
I recently went to see Dr. Garneau and I put my name on the list for the Verticle Sleeve (was told 18 months).  I'm very excited about this.  

I was glad to see this part of the forum now has some action as it had very little back in 2009.  I'm also glad to see that there are some get togethers now & again. 

Looking forward to posting!
Lisa 

Hi Lisa,
Long time no see. I remember you from a couple of years ago. I am just recently sleeved and I am doing great. Dr. Garneau was my surgeon and he did a really good job. I didn't really like the fact that he wasn't really hands-on with his patients pre and post-op since I only saw him at my first consult and once more 1 month post-op. That's it. I'm sorry to hear that the lap-band didn't fully work out for you but I know with the VSG you will be able to make it work! 

Welcome back to the board and I hope to see you around more often.

Hi Lisa,

I did the same thing as you. I had the band few years ago and it just didn`t work for me. I was worry going through the sleeve as I was wondering if it would be the same ... BUT NO. The sleeve really work and I am so happy. My life has change for the best.

Good luck, you will see, it will come fast.
