Hi, I am also from Virginia and had my surgery at St. Mary's with Dr. Batista....I was banded in August and have lost 30 lbs. I live in the Richmond area and would recommend St. Mary's any day of the week

Banded August 14, 2007 Weight266/Now 238

<p>I have had two fills so far and they are not bad at all...You feel</p> <p>the initial prick but after that not much feeling...You have to try to drink something before you leave to make sure you can keep it down...My second fill was a little harder because they had some trouble getting in the port but that wasn't that bad either....</p>

Hi I am a new kid on the block, kinda sort of, I had my Lap Band surgery on August 14th and have so far lost 32 lbs.....Dr. Batista at St Mary's Hospital in Richmond, Va. did my surgery and I think it was the greatest thing I ever did for myself....I am feeling really good and hope the progress continues.....I have run into a couple of things which I no longer seem to be able to handle and one of those was steak.....:help::faint:
