"i first met dr balder at the conway center at the Lap Band information class..i was impressed that he spoke himself and not through a rep, he provided a lot of helpful info, and answered questions freely. i am juwt 2 weeks post op for the Lap Band, and everything has gone so well, Dr Balder has been most helpful, BJ, the bariatric coodinator has been SO helpful, answering questions as they came up...always quick to respond and assist. They were all very clear that this process would take dicipline and that i must do as they say to make the LB process as effective as is could be, they made sure I was ready for this life change...no more overeating, no more emotional eating...that is not an option any longer. as i said, i am only 2 weeks and 4 days into post op, all has gone well, i see dr balder for the first time tomorrow, i pray to get a good report. i have done exactly as they said, and will be excited to see the progress. So far, this has been exciting, I would recommend Dr Balder and the Conway Center highly....I look to be a new and much smaller woman in 07! There is nothing I can report that I have not liked to date with my experience with Dr Balder & Staff. "
