Hello everyone! This is my first post, I have decided to undergo the lap band surgery and am trying to decide on where to go. My two front runners are Dr Colbourne at SWLC and Bluewater surgical center. I was very impressed with the followup plan and dietician at Bluewater, however the consultation felt rushed and I didn't even get to meet the surgeon. Makes me wonder if they will deliver on their promises post op. Dr Colbourne was very informative and professional. He answered all my questions and did not make me feel rushed. However I live a few hours away so would not be able to take advantage of onsite nutritionalists. Any feedback from former patients of either clinic is appreciated! Thanks,

It's a prescription thing, powder that you mix with Water. I was worried to, just told people I got a juicer and was trying out something new. Afterwards I told them I plateaued and switched to a high Protein diet, like south beach. No one asked any question. What I'm eating now is actually similar to south beach anyways, just small portions!

I went with dr cobourne at swlc, couldn't be more satisfied. Extremely professional and helpful staff made the surgery day and recovery great. They have been calling to follow up, and answered all my question. I'm already down over 30 lbs from before starting the pre-op diet. Good luck on your lap band journey!
