I am from Lewiston, and I will be attending the seminar later today at Portsmouth Regional Hospital. I am an RN who has worked on the surgical unit that had RNY gastric bypass surgery patients - After seeing the many complications that can occur, I have decided to check out the lap banding procedure for myself. I am now an insulin-dependent diabetic, with other co-morbidities, and am serious about losing weight to extend my life and be around to enjoy my husband and my son. Best of luck to all of you.

Warmly, Rachel

Hello All. I also live in the Augusta area. Dr. McKee is working with me. I had my pre-op visit today; and will be scheduled for surgery sometime in August. I started this process back in January (remember the snow storm the night of the seminar at the Senator?) I was there. Maybe you were there too. I'd like to know who you are. Maybe we've even talked at the Support Group meetings.

May I ask you all, who is your doctor? It seems that New Hampshire doesn't have any surgeons that does the Lap Top band. Thanks!

Portsmouth has 3 surgeons at Portsmouth Regional Hospital that have an excellent Bariatric Program. I am in the process of getting my "pre-op" stuff done and awaiting approval from insurance company. I live in Lewiston.

YAY for the board getting active!!!!!!

Hi, I'm Connie. I live in South Portland...although we are hoping (please cross your fingers) to sell our condo this summer and build a house further north.

I had my band placed 12-12-07 by Dr. Benavides in Dallas, Texas. I am probably going to be looking to transition my care to someone up here pretty soon. Are any of your dr's taking on patients that were banded elsewhere??

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
