I am new to this board. Is there a group that is specific to the Hampton Roads/Peninsula area? I'm going through the process at the WLSC in Newport News and would love to talk with some local people who have used the same doctors.

Thanks!:biggrin:

Laughing at you both, I hate the drive to the Southside, LOL.

I agree -- hate driving to the "other side" no matter what side that is...

Good point!

Hi Della. I'm in Chesapeake, nice to meet ya. I've just gotten started and am looking to go through WLSC in Newport News. Best of Luck to you.

Bridgette, who is going to do your surgery? Dr. Terracina did mine over three years ago. Welcome and I wish you the best.

Good Morning Hampton Roads, no posts for over a month, how is everyone doing?

Carla, I think that was my mother you met at your fill, she had on a pretty blue blouse and black slacks and the typical greatgrandma gray hair, LOL.

Gr8t, how are you doing?

Take care all.

HarleyNana,

That is so funny...what are the odds! She does look like the typical grandma but she sure is spry and she was telling Dr. T about her new car.

What a small world!

Carla that is too funny, she told me she had told Dr. T about her car. How's the WL going? Do you like your band?

DJ_Bryan, Dr. Clarke did Signgirl's band

HarleyNana, I'm so anxious about getting banded. I start the pre op diet this Wednesday. Also, I see you live in Yorktown. So do I! In fact I went to the beach music concert on the river last night. I live in Foxwood. We're also close in age. (I'm 54)

HarleyNana, have you been satisfied with your results? How long did you have to wait before your first fill?

DJ, I had this huge post, then lost it. I'll pm you with my phone numbers. I'd love to talk to you, I love my band, I have only one regeret and that is that the band was not available when I was 30 years younger.

HarleyNana,

Overall I am liking my band. I've had two fills now and I think I have restriction...don't know if it is my sweet spot, but there is restriction. I don't have any hunger, but if I wait too long to eat, I end up PBing. Sometimes, I realize I am hungry and take took big of a bite, but other times I think since it has been a while since I ate that my stomach spasms and I can't get whatever it is down.

I'm still in the learning curve. I just have to tell myself slow down and chew correctly.

I've lost 30 lbs over the last 3 months, one month of which was spent eating out 24/7 due to storm damage to my house so I am pretty pleased with my progress.

Would I do it again? Absolutely!
