Hi, I am from Clayton nc and I went to Dr Peter Henderson, he works at Rex Hospital also and will held surgery there. Have you hear from him? I was searching about lapband for a while but did not have luck for referrals. This Dr. seems to know what he is doing but I woudl like referrals from him. I went to seminar and Phycologist appt. My Dietittician appt will be next week and I am also planning to attend a weight loss forum at Rex. I was very confused about what surgery to get, finally I decided lapband because it is the only surgery my husband is agreed with for being less risky. Please keep me posted about your success? have you lose weight since the date of your surgery? Are you hungry? My problem is I eat too much and I hungry all the time, I am not eating too much sweets or Pasta I just like to eat.......

I hope you can keep in touch, I really need support in this, it is scary but I am so excited I can't wait to change my life and feel normal again.

Good Morning

I am having mine done at Duke Raleigh, they have a group of surgeons and I am very happy with them. I went to a dr in cary and I felt like I was at a used car lot they were only concerned with how the insurance was going to pay them. Just remember who ever you choose you must be happy with not just the surgon but the whole staff. My Dr. said to look at this as a marriage you must love the staff cause they will be supporting you thru this. I also liked Raleigh Center for weight loss, but they are not on my insurance yet. If you have any more questions just let me know I am more than happy to help ttny007@aol.com

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
