I have a band placed by Dr paya as well. I had my band placed in Nov. 06. To date I have lost -125, and I plan on another 25 coming off before my 2nd year ann. I am happy with Dr. Paya and have had 0 problems.
My DH had a different Dr for his RNY, and I wish he had Dr Paya as well. He gets no attention at all from his Dr. Thankfully he hasnt had any problems.
