I just attended my seminar last night. IT was by Dr. Mailapur.
He is soooo into gastric bypass. He spent maybe 5 mins on banding, and 45 on bypass.
He said he had done 800 bypass surgeries, I asked him how many bands he had done, and he said 40. He said that banding is not as effective, but he will do whatever I want him to do.
He also charges $175 for the consultation, which he doesn't turn into insurance??
He seems a great surgeon and all, but I kinda want someone who believes in my dream...:confused2:
