I am considering getting the lap band and would like to hear from people in the area, hopefully patients of Dr.Boyce of how things are, what their progress is, would you recommend it? I don't really want a different surgery because i don't what to cut up vital organs lol

thanks for any and all of your help

I am not sure about their procedures...I go to UT Weightloss Center here. I have a monitored waititn time of 6 months. I also think it depends on what your insurance requires you to have done. Good luck with your journey.

I would suggest you go over to the Lap Band forum and talk to some of the folks there and get their advice. I'm a Boyce patient too, but I had the DS. Best decision of my life :) Oh, and your stomach/intestines aren't vital if they're just made smaller. Thank goodness I can still eat a plate of food, lol.
