Jarvis J,

You'll do just fine. He's a great doctor and has done lots of lap band procedures. I had surgery about 5 weeks ago and I am doing great so stay positive. You're in good hands!

Jarvis J,

I was banded by Dr. Felts last month & had my first fill / post op this past Monday. He is GREAT! His follow up afterwards was very caring & supportive.

I too had a low BMI - they should absolutely be able to help you....His staff is some of the nicest people you will meet, they care!!

Thanks to those who replied. I still go back and forth. I need help and I realize I can't do this on my own anymore. I'm nervous about all the constant fills. I will be self pay and all the money scares me. The long term of the band and the expense it could possibley cost to maintain...it just scare me. I know two people who have had the surgery. The ended up not being able to afford to pay for the fills so they gave up. I guess I need some re-assurance.
