:redface:I started my journey towards bariatric surgery the end of November 2007. I'm being worked up by James Harris, MD in Wilmington, NC. This past Friday I finished up all my preop requirements and I'm waiting now for my second appt with the surgeon...I'm somewhat undecided between which procedure that I want to have. This particular MD have done over 300 gastric bypass procedures (with a high success rate) and just started doing the lap bands. I'm curious to know if anyone out there has heard of this surgeon or been banded by him.

Ohhhh, please read my sig link. It's for researching Mexican surgeons but it will apply to US surgeons as well. Personally, I would never go to anyone for a band unless they have done at least 250 of them. But that's my opinion.
