O.K here is my deal. I live in Southaven and I have had my paper work from Dr. weaver for about a month now but haven't turned it in. My thing is there is a Dr. here at Desoto Baptist that will be starting to do lap bands at the end of the year. I have heard that he is a skilled surgon but he will be new with the lap band (even though he has been doing them under another doctor's supervision). I am nervous to go to someone new but if he is a skilled surgon shouldn't he be able to do this. Also, it will be so much easier to go 5 minutes from home instead of 30 minutes. what is the thoughts of those that have had this done. Should I wait for the new guy or go to Weaver. Also, I will not be done with my 6 months of doctor stuff until Nov. I have been going to a doctor since March but missed May so had to start over.

I am looking at dr. to do the lap band. My mother had Dr. Woodman do her par thyroid 2 years ago. he is good but he told my mother when she went that most of what he did was br. surgeries and most of that was for people TOO LAZY to lose weight on their own:thumbdown:. This really buged me seeing how I have PCOS so I do not want to go to him. Dr. Weaver is sending me paper work but I see that there are other dr. to chose from. I need one for a Methodist hos. if possiable. thank.
