How are things going? I had my surgery with Dr. Rickford on May 12th. I am still adjusting to trying to consume the required liquids. Everything seems like it is too much. how where you able to meet your required protein amounts?

I too went to Mexico and haven't been sucessful. I know it's because I have been compliant. I think I need a support group and more doctor supervision. It's been very disappointing. I've actually gained. if you know of any support groups in DC. I'm game.

Hi! I live in Alexandria and I'm scheduled to have surgery on April 19th. My surgeon is Dr. Moazzez in Fairfax. I'm wondering if anyone knows of any support groups closer to the Alexandria/DC area? I'm excited. A little nervous too. So anything you can share with me would be greatly appreciated Thanks!

This is my first time on the DC forum, I am always on the lap band forum and glad that I decided to check this out. I had band surgery with Dr Harrington at Holy Cross which I love that place, BUT now that Dr Harrington is not practicing at the monment they had to find me a new surgeon. My new surgeon is Dr. Rickford and I heard that he was good, I have only met with him twice so we'll see. When get to so use to one Dr for a year than you have to go to someone new it's hard but hey I will adjust. That was my first time at that hospital and I can say that it's no Holy Cross by no means.
