Hi,

I have only heard recently that he does the band. I have not heard anything else about him to be honest.

You may want to go to band2gether.net there are a lot of Charlotte people on there.

What made you chose him?

When I looked for my band surgeon I wanted to know how many bands he had done, what was his success rate with the band.

What is follow up care like?

Who decides on the fills?

Is he personable?

Talk to people in the waiting room. See what they say about follow up care.

I would not want to go with a Dr that didn't relate to me.

They are all good sales people, remember that. You really want to be sure that it is you and your Dr that make the desicions on your fill not anyone else in the office.

Support meetings? How often do they meet?

Hope this helps. Band2gether.net (b2g) Lap band Support Forums - Powered by vBulletin like I said has a lot of CLT people. We have a support meeting that meets the second Saturday of the month. It doesn't matter who our Dr is, all are welcome.

If you have trouble getting onto that site try it without the www

My name there is lovemylpband

Let me know what you find out, good luck!

As someone who once worked with Keith, I will tell you that he is a terrific surgeon. Detail oriented, empathetic and truly ethical at all times.

You could not choose a better surgeon in the world.

He has just started his band practice in Charlotte, but he is an amazing laparoscopic surgeon. Though sometimes quirky, he is always skillful!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
