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!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
