"In having lap band surgery, I only had a 23 hour stay. The nurses were phenomenal in that they wer compassionate, caring, and showed a genuine concern for my well-being. Pain medication was readily available and I never felt much discomfort at all. The hospital was clean. The staff was friendly and kept me apprised when my surgery ended up being significantly later than planned. I would recommend UNC to anyone thinking about having surgery.

"During my very first visit with Dr. Overby, I felt that I was in good hands. This has not changed since I've had surgery. He was thorough in his explanantion of the procedure, it's risks, and expectations of achieving my goals. He sincerely has a desire to see his patients be successful in their weight loss endeavors. I am still recovering from my surgery and in following everything that he has asked of me, everything has gone well. UNC is just starting their lap band program, but I would say that they are off to a great start with such a competent surgeon heading the program!"
