carmelqt 1 Posted September 20, 2011 Hi everyone! Is there anyone here from Charlotte, NC or a patient of Dr. Vollinger? Just found out that I was approved for myy surgery. I am excited and nervous although don"t have a date have been told around end of October or beginning of November. Just excited about starting my new life and how it is going to be. I have been reading so many differnt things about the band not lasting or slipping and it is making me really nervous. Does any one have any advice on how to make it through the liquid diet phase of it all? If there aren't any Charlotte or Vollinger people any advice is wanted and accepted.
