Hi! I am in the very beginning stages of becoming a citizen of "Lap-Band Land!" I am going to be seeing Dr. Peter Henderson at the Georgia Coast Surgical facility in Brunswick, Ga. I was wondering if by chance anyone else on here has gone there or seen Dr. Henderson. Please share any advice and/or stories if you have had experience with this facility. Thanks! :waytogo: :P

I did not go to the dinner before the meeting. Two small children and hard to find a babysitter.

I was with my husband and had my surgery two weeks ago. I think we have seen each other in the Dr's office once on your first check up. If I remember right you are in "bandster hell" right now? How are things going now?

First week on full liquids was great but now that I am trying real food my weight loss seems to be slowing way down. It's going to be a long road!!! I wish there was a magic wand.

yes! That is me. I was really scared when I started foods. This is the first time in years that weight has finally come off. So starting the food just seemed like I was going to add so many more calories but you aren't. Try to record what you eat at fitday.com everyday. Remember what Lauren said protein first then veggies then starches. I never got to the starches til this past week. Now i do and I eat fruit between meals. Good luck and let me know if I can help.

First checkup with Kent yesterday. 25 pounds so far. Pretty good. It can't go away fast enough for me.

There was an article on the lap-band procedure in today's paper featuring Dr. Henderson.

How are things going for you right now? I'm finally starting to feel a little hungry. He still wants to wait about four more weeks until we discuss a fill.
