Raleigh or Durham, NC recommendations?
Skinny Grandma replied to JustinsMama's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
It is just very hard to get an appt with him after the surgery. Easy to see his nurse Lisa but not him. Six to eight week wait and then long wait in office. -
Thanks Sue, I'll be very careful. I have no intention of removing it just letting my esphogus take a rest.

:thumbdown:Has anyone had a lapband holiday? How did it work out? Do to some vomiting problems they took all the fill out of my band. The band was put in in July. I am not going to get any fill back for two weeks. Hope that solves the problem.

I also work at Rex and Dr. Enoch did my band July 11. I would recommend you go with him. I don't know much about Dr. Moran but I've never heard a bad word about Dr. Enoch. -
Hi Skinny!
Just an update on my progress.
My PP said "yes"
I didn't think he'd go along with the surgery - he's an OD.
He knows the surgeon I selected very well and promised to send him a good recommendation
(maybe they should just meet for calamari and Chianti and "seal the deal")
I see you had a fill.
Does that hurt?
I'm terrified of needles (unless they have hooks and yarn)

Hi All, Had my first fill yesterday. 2mls. They said my band can hold up to 10 ml. I don't feel much different today. I've lost fourteen pounds in four weeks and I'm happy!!!!!Wishing all you new banders good luck. Skinny Grandma -
You are doing great. I hope I do nearly as well as you. Thanks for your inspiration

Hope you have a wonderful time at the outer banks. I live in N.C. and have never been there. My sisters come from N Y to vacation in the banks. Just don't eat too much, get some exercise in and relax and enjoy. -
Dr. Enochs has a seminar you go to first,then you have a consult with him. He will let you know what he wants done. Usually lab work, upper GI, Ekg, Chest xray, nutrition and psych consult. He also can recommend the people you can go to. I don't think you'll be sorry if you choose him. Good luck

Three weeks after my lap band surgery I fell forward down 4 concrete steps and broke 2 bones - the ankle and up on the side of the calf. I am now walking without a boot or crutches and with a slight limp. Getting ready to start back with exercise and walking slowly.

Hi,
I was so glad to hear someone else had the same experience with the "heart attack" like pain that I did. I thought I was going crazy.I'm going to ask the doctor about it when I see him Aug 7. I was banded 7/11 and lost ten lbs in twelve days. Except for that one time I was doing good. Up to pureed now. You would be suprised at what I can pureed. Skinny Grandma

What did you do to your foot? I am new to this whole thing. Banded on 7/11 and don't know anyone else with a band. Moved up to pureed food. Guess I need to start exercising but I dread it.I have never been very atheletic and I guess being over weight didn't help.Any tips? Skinny Grandma (I hope)
