hello, I live in belpre, ohio and was considering this lapband surgery. I've had both knees replaced and need this done. What I am afraid of is I do not know all the info about it , how safe it is and how long do I have to wait to see results. I hope you are doing better. Who did your sugery? I was considering Dr. Amigo in Marietta oh. Please let me know if you know amything about him. thank you
