I was banded by Dr. D on 5/10/13 so I'm still early in the game, but I saw him once a month over the past 6 months then on surgery day he was laughing because I was crying thanks to my nerves, but I love him! Even at my post-op last week, he made me feel really good about my progress so far! He is a great surgeon and believes in what he does (he has the lap band too!) which for me really meant something! I also know someone who worked along side him, assisting in his surgeries at Chandler Regional who gave him nothing but rave reviews as a surgeon, so for me that sealed the deal! Going to WLIA was the best choice I ever made and so far I'm down 20 lbs and am half way to my first fill in 3 weeks!
