After taking over 2 years to decide if this was for me or not, i originally was going to have the gastric bypass surgery but after going to another doctor and being turned down through my insurance because the facility was out of network, i found my doctor through a referal from my primary doctor and i went to his seminar, i was so impressed with his explanation and presentation of the surgery and his sense of humor that i said to myself and my daughter whom was with me, he is the one and i want to get the lap band now, well 3 months later and i have had the surgery....SO DAMN PLEASED WITH MY DECISION :)
