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.
