Hello Delaware

I am new to posting to the site....I am hoping to have surgery (Lap Band) with Dr. Irgau. My question is has anyone on this forum had the Lap Band? If so I would like to chat with you. Thanks. Hope to meet you guys soon. Tev

Hi Tev, I have not had the lap band ... sorry ... but did want to say hello and welcome. However, the gal who prepped me for surgery had the lap band with Dr Irgau. We had plenty of time to talk while she was prepping me ... and she had nothing but good things to say about it and the doc. It was funny because she told me not to be too hard on Dr Irgau because she was getting a adjustment from him right after my surgery. Best wishes and again welcome! Tammy

Welcome to the site....Happy posting and much luck on journey Hope you find a Lap bander to chat with soon...

Welcome, Tev!

Hi Tev. Welcome to the DE boards! ~Shelly

I have a friend who had the lap band... she was one of the first few that they did... she's a year out from her surgery. Her profile is under Karen from DE. Check it out and send her an email. She will chat with you. I think the website she refers to alot was smartbandsters.com (I'm not certain but check with her) GOOD LUCK TO YOU and WELCOME!

Welcome Tev! Sorry, I havent had the lap band but just wanted to welcome you to the boards Best wishes on your journey! Elizabeth M
