Went to his free seminar last night and am considering being banded by him. I am looking for comments, feedback, issues about Dr. Carter, the surgery and his staff. Thx!

Dr. Carter is great! Becky was my "go to" person in his office and I am less than pleased with her. I feel stupid everytime I ask a question. I find myself looking to this website for answers.
my soworker went to Dr Carter she was upset because he made her wait 3 month for a fill an than when the day came he said he stop doing fills in the evening well that's the only time she can go, she sais the front dest nurse was rude "well that's your problem you have to make a way" she was told fills was free for 1 year now they are asking for 250.00 a fill. but that's only one person out of thousand

I used Dr. Carter and have done very well. His bed side manner is great and he has an awesome personality. As far as his staff they are not paid to be patient service reps so love lost, but on occasion I'll run into one at the store or local mall and they are always polite and call me by name.
Dr. Carter did my banding on 5/13/08 and he was wonderful... I actually was scared to death right before the surgery and he came over rubbed my cheek and calmed me down. I am finding myself right now able to eat without restriction which concerns me. But I work in insurance and understand that you have a 90 day post op period that your insurance will not pay for the fill also. That is also one reason he does not do it until the 91 day. He would end of having to write off the balance. Any suggestions for how to curb my hunger?
The first 3 months were the hardest for me too. But it's the beginning of a new file and new habits need to be developed. I continued (as with my pre op diet) to eat around 1200CALs a day and began working out like I have never before. It's been 6 months now and I've had 3 fills. I'm down 57 pounds, but the truth is I have worked for it. I have to eat healthy and work out. My best friend had the surgery a month before me and she hasn't been as successful because she doesn't work out and lots of processed foods go down quickly like chips. There is a great website called sparkpeople.com that can help you track calories and has tons of cool features and it's free. Check it out and don't get discouraged - this is the beginning of a new you!
