Helloooooooo anyone there

[Moe128 0]

I'm from Wakefield, NH; I meet tomorrow with Dr. Gens (Atlantic Medical in Portsmouth). I have done my psych classes, nutritionist, physical therapy and also the support group meeting. Wondering after meeting with Dr. how far off my surgery might be??? I have also lost the 11 lbs that was needed. Getting anxious now to begin a new life!

Hey Wendy,

I'm from Milton and I am going with my sister to Portsmouth for the informational night. They list Dr. Gens as one of the drs at the office. Have you been banded yet? Do you have any advise/feedback about the process? THanks!:thumbup:

Hello NH people. I am in NH , New Durham ..I had my surgery done in Portsmouth. I had Dr. Looser. He is an excellent surgeon. And I really like him. He has been really good with me. Please write. I will answer.. Donna

Hi! I am in Milton NH. I am going for my informational night with my sister tomorrow. I can't wait, although I am a little nervous. Just looking to pick your brain with your experience and see if you have any pointers for me...

Hi......Dr. Gens was great; I'm now 2 months out and have lost a total of 41 lbs. since beginning in January.

I am also going to the informational session tomorrow night with a friend who is also interested in lapband.

Please feel free to ask me any questions.....I'd be happy to share my experiences to date. I'm so glad that I did this!

I saw you there outside on the phone and then the seminar started. I got a lot of good info. Two months is the absolute shortest turnaround time. I'm going to weigh in tomorrow or Friday with my application in hand to get the ball rolling. I'll probably drive you crazy with questions between now and then.

I am from Hampton and attended the meeting in Portsmouth last night. I am excited but a bit nervous. I hope to get weigh in as soon as possible too. Keep updating.

Hi NaniRose! It was a little scary, but you could see Dr. Gens light up when he started talking about this being a gratifying surgery for the surgeons. It helps knowing and being able to see how excited he is for us. The post surgery diet is a little scary, but if it means not being so heavy anymore, it will all be worth it in the end. I'll let you know how I make out this afternoon. I filled out the paperwork last night so I could bring it with me. Wish me luck! For a change I don't have to worry about stepping on the scale:thumbup:

Sorry we didn't get to speak; I was waiting for a friend coming from Derry! I just saw Nancy & Dr. Gens this morning...had another check up; lost 6lbs this month and I go back again next month and will get a fill then. Dr. Gens made me feel so good today; I'm so glad I did this and don't hesitate to ask me anything. If you want I can give you my home email; sometimes easier to check! Wendy

That would be great. I went and weighed in today and dropped off my application. I really think it is the right option for me. I'm psyched!

Congratulations!!! I went to my orientation right after Thanksgiving 2007 and my surgery was 3/17/08. Moved along pretty fast. I had 14 pounds to loose for surgery. My email is wendys81963@yahoo.com. Look forward to chatting with you and it would be nice to have some one else to talk with about this journey. Wendy

Hi Moe,

How did it go today? I am going Monday to drop off my application. What is the next step? I am getting excited the more I think about it.

It was pretty good, as well as a trip to the scale can be:) I gave them my app and they said they would give me a call. I am going to call Monday and see what I can set up now. I told some of my family today and everyone was supportive!
