Welcome to the Sentara Southside Online Lap Band support group. This is a support group for people who have had an Adjustable Gastric Band implanted, and for those who are researching this surgery for obesity. The Bariatric Program Coordinator for Sentara Norfolk General Hospital, Jeanne Sanders, moderates this group.

This group offers a safe support outlet where members can share their successes, questions and experiences with one another.

The membership for this group is moderated, so you may have to wait a day or two for your membership to be approved before you can post messages.

DISCLAIMER: This is a group for patient support only - NOT for medical advice. Any information here should not be considered as advice equal to that of a qualified medical person.
