I started this spreadsheet and thought it would be really useful to newbies. Just wondering if you all wouldnt mind help filling it out. I'll post on the DC forum too.

Thanks!

I see you've had a Lap-Band. If you go to the Lap-Band website & type in your new zip code under "Find a Surgeon," you'll see a list of Lap-Band qualified surgeons. Look for one with the icon that represents "Accepts Out of Town Patients." Good luck!

Topic: Looking for some information
 So I am going to be looking for a new Dr. to follow up with here soon.  I really do not want to leave my current Dr.  who I think is amazing but my husband is active duty in the military and we have to move.  We are looking at the Norfolk area of VA and I was wondering if anyone could recommend a Dr. in that area.  I am really scared about a new Dr since I have such a great one right now so any help would be great.  Thank you all in advance.

I slept in a recliner for a few weeks after my surgery. Maybe too much pressure on u too early or maybe anxiety. Try sitting up!! :) Good luck!
