Melissa, Karen McGregor here on the board is going to a Dr. at CMC to get possible get her lap band. I think there are others in the area we just don't know who they are.... I think Dr. Bauman is going to get alot of Dr. V's patients.

I have my consult with Dr. Bauman Oct 10th. I had filled out all the paper work online, and I didn't hear back from them. A coworker who had gastric bypass called them and they agreed to speak with me. When I called Angie informed me that they were waiting for me to call and make an appointment. I never got the 'approval' email either, so the phone call was necessary. However, I chickened out. I had a consult for Aug 18th and post poned it to 10/10 - there is so, so much to do. I have my consult in the am, my psych consult in the pm and the next day I have my nutrionist appointment. I also need to have an upper GI, I'm hoping Dr Bauman will order it.

I had found out a couple years ago I have GERD and a Hiatal hernia. So I hope the hernia could be fixed too.

I atteneded DR B's seminar and he was so awsome. I arrived late due to having the old office address and not the new one. Ofcourse, I didn't have cell phone access and I was lost in concord. Yuck.

I will be here to support you as I know you will be there for me. It's exciting. I will be doing my surgery in concord. I am also going to read up some on the 'nutrional' things that I'm lacking.
