Im scheduled for my band on jan.31, 2013, And in the past week ive talked to 3 different people who said I need to change surgeons...due to a lot of complaint s thats been placed on my surgeon..I of the individuals was his own nurse who said he just lost a patient due to the fact he placed the lapband in backwards! So my question is with my surgery only being 4 days away is it possible to change doctors,,, please help with any advice.

I went to case.net and found out any legal case against that person.

Well I did some more back ground checking on my surgeon and found out thst he has 2 wrongfull death law suits against him 1 in 2002 and 1 in 2010...so needlist to say I canceled my surgery with him for this thursday...and found a new surgeon...it will only be postponed for 3 weeks....I feel extremely relieved. .

I live In missouri,, and my surgeon has done over 650 lapband surgeries and I did ask him if hes ever lost a patient and he said no,, but this process has been so long I first seen him jan. 2012, and a year later its finally happening, and this evening I ran into my cousin Who is a surgical nurse..and she was there when the lady he operated on had placed the band upside down and she sadly passed away. Im calling another surgeon in the morning, thanks everybody for all your advice, I will post tomm, what changes I will be making,

Its been a long process to finally get to this point...but its finally here. Im on my 5th day of my 10 day liquid diet..and its been really hard..but just try to stay focus ed on the sweet rewards this journey will bring. [ATTACH]25821[/ATTACH]
