Dr. Johnson in Morehead City did my surgery. I found in Greenville there were a lot of referrals not necessary and a long wait. I saw Dr. Johnson in October for first appt had surgery in December 26, 2008. Down 41 lbs. Extremely nice and very easy to talk to. No regrets

I have no regrets either for having lapband surgery.

When I look at others eat I am amazed as to how much they put into their mouth.

I remember once being in Nashville and having two people bet on me without my knowledge if I could finish a 30 ounce porterhouse steak with all the fixing.

My friend said watch this and not long afterwords I was picking up the bone and started gnawing on it.

That is when my friend won his 20 bucks.

Ah the so called good old days.

I've had Dr Bell for a gastric issue just over a year ago, and Dr Johnson for gallbladder surgery in March. Dr Johnson is also doing my lap band next week. I'm completely confident in both Dr Bell and Dr Johnson. They're easy to talk to, and I feel like they both *really* listen me.

I had the "yep all the paperwork is in, let's do this" visit on April 20, the insurance approval on the 23rd, and we're picking a date probably the first week of May because next week doesn't work with my work schedule. But I *could* be doing it next week if I wanted to!

Big props all around for Carteret Surgical's team.
