Happy New Year!!

Was just wondering if anyone is from NC? I have read several posts and have seen lost of places represented but nothing from NC. I'm just trying to find a doctor in my area that does the lap band procedure. I have an appointment scheduled for the information seminar with one suregery center in Greenville, but am curious if there are others?

God bless!

HelloI am from Charlotte and am having my surgery on Jan 20th. Super nervous and excited at the same time. I start my preop diet next Thursday, so for the next 4 days I am eating all my favs, it will be awhile until I can have solid foods. Good luck with the seminar.

Welcome, I am from Jacksonville and had my surgery in March 16, 2009 with Dr. Pender in Greenville, I am below my goal weight & have lost 114 pounds, I love my lap band and really have liked dealing with his office. He is at the Brody Clinic at the hospital in Greenville. His office does have support meetings once a month in Greenville. Hope that all works out wells for you!

Hello!

Just checking in on you! How are you doing with the liquid diet so far? I think that's the part that scares me the worst.

Any input would be greatly appreciated!

God bless,

Hello!

thanks for responding! It feels a little more real to me to think that someone right around here has had great results with the lap band. I am battling with doubts and fears and when I read your post - it really helped me feel better. Do you exercise a lot now? Has it been hard keeping the weight off? I just have so many questions!! lol

thanks again!

God bless,

Jaleena

Hi,

Is your doctor with Southern Surgical? That's the only office I can find around here. How long has the entire process taken you to this point? Just wondering what type of timeline I will be looking at? My husband keeps thinking that this is going to go very quickly but I'm just not that sure after reading the posts

thanks for responding!!

God bless,

Jaleena

Hi,

How long ago did you start the process? Do they explain both the by pass and the lapband at the seminar? I have several friends who think that the bypass would be the best - I was thinking the lapband and now I just don't know which!! What made you decide?

Look forward to hearing from you!

God bless,

Hi Jaleena i posted my dates form the begining right above your last post i didnt go to a siminar but i researched both deeply and think the lapband is better for me. My doc say its my choice but i think he was trying to get my to do the gastric. He say alot of people expect the fast results likr gastric but i already know its a slow process and alot more effort with lapbandbut im willing to put in the work and have realistic expectations

I am right outside of Jacksonville - close to the coast! Have you had the surgery already?

Hello! I am just starting the process, I am from Jacksonville too! Who did your surgery? Are you happy with it?

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
