Topic: Has anyone had this problem ?
I was banded the end of sept. then I went back for a fill in Nov ( he only put 2 drops in )
Which didn't seem to make much difference . So the 15 th of Jan I went back and he
put in 1cc . I could only eat a little bit which was fine and then Thurseday night I was
sick all night ( thought I might have the flue ) Felt better this morning took my pills
and pulked them all up . Just sipped on gaterade today but tryed to eat tonight and i'm
pulking again . Do you think there is anything wrong ? Or should I just go on Liquids for
a few days then go from there . I'm just kinda worried . Thanks

Topic: RE: On my way!
Your Dr gave you some good advice. My wife Sandra had RYN 2 years ago and that was the right surgery for her. She originally thought that lap-band was the way to go. However, after listening to the information presented at the seminar she choose RYN with Dr. Hoehn. Sandra lost 150 pounds in one year. Then in July 2007 I had lap-band with Dr. Hoehn. Again after listening to the information presented at the seminar and counsel with the doctors, lap-band was the right choice for me. I have lost 73 pounds since July 2.
Remember, this is not a cure. It is a tool! Just like going to the store a buying a tool to do a job, there are several to choose from. You must do your homework and decide which one will work better in my situation. The great thing about the SMMC program is that the professionals are there and available to help you in your decision.
Good luck in your journey.
Topic: RE: Wichita Support Group
Im interested as well. I know a place we could host it that would be private but we would have to pay probably like $10 or $20 to use the space. But if we all pitched in a few bucks it would cover the cost. The space is very nice and very private so we could talk openly about our issues. It is also wheelchair accessible and has an elevator and wheelchair ramp in case anyone would have that sort of need.

Topic: RE: On my way!
Congratulations on the minus 9 LBS!!! I live in Platte City too and had LapBand surgery 9/26/07 with Dr. Hoehn. I had a different cir****tance than most cause due to other health problems (mainly weak heart) my only option was LB. I have lost 50 pounds and am disabled so unable to do much exercise. I don't have good restriction yet so I am real pleased with my progress so far.
I am not trying to persuade you to get the LapBand just wanted to let you know you have a neighbor.
Oh and by the way you have chosen the BEST surgeon in the world too. Of course that is my opinion but between him and his PA Tim you are in very good hands.
The very best luck to you and feel free to email me if I can answer any questions,
Connie B.

Topic: RE: On my way!
Hi, I was wondering if Dr Hoehn, said how long the surgery process took, I was suppose to go, Jan 14, to his seminar, but didn't go due to an emergency, so I may go this coming monday or Feb 4, any advice or info would be helpful.
I was advised by a Dr that you need to think and listen to both procedures, he said people don't hear the neg things about the lap-band, and long term RYN is better, he does the lap-band surgery, but my ins won't pay in St Joe, I think it is just a individual's choice and how serious they are wanting to lose weight and keep it off, thanks for listening, good luck to all B
