I had mine done with Dr. Williams. I am almost a year out. It has been a wonderful experience. He has taken in a partner and he is wonderful.

Dr Williams supervised my procedure. He is very very good! My sister is a nurse and works with him at the hospital. She can't say enough good things about him

Dr. Williams performed my lapband about 4 years ago. I am very pleased. Several of my friends had a lapband installed and went through weeks of liquid diets in preparation.

Dr. Williams just told me not to eat a Chinese Buffet the night before and I would be fine. I was. It was a 20 minute operation and I have had about 6 fills over the four year period with the last one being over a year ago.

I started out at 375+ and here it is 4 years later and I leveled off at 250 pounds a year ago with 60 lbs more to lose. I am 71 and a half years old now and I still feel like a new man.

My eating habits now suck and I need to watch the caloric intake. My bad! I attended weight loss groups at Emory Johns Creek and Northside Hospital in Cumming, GA. Very helpful. Just remember, a lapband is a tool. YOU have to do the dedication part. I need to get back on track. This cold winter has turned me into a "couch potato covered in sour cream and chives!"

Dr. Williams lost a wonderful nurse when Janet Yandow left his practice due to ovarian cancer. I still miss her. I recommended Dr. Williams highly. Dr. Williams is one of the few surgeons who accepts Medicare.

      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.
