I don't know anything about Dr. Chappano and I haven't had my surgery yet, but i plan on having it done in the next few months. When I first brought up the conversation with my doc and she recommended Dr. Webb. I have had a previous C-section and and I have a BMI of over 50. She said that she had operated with him and had several of her other patients see him regarding lap band. She said that he was one of the best and that he had "great hands" as a surgeon. My doc does not make recommendations lightly when it comes to other physicians, but that fact that she praised him made me want to check him out. Since then I'm scheduled for one of his seminars at Memorial.
Good luck in choosing, I'm sure you'll make the right decision. You already made one really good one... you're getting banded! so right now you're 1-0!
