  1. Hi. Dr. Zarif has been great. I was banded on May 7th. I didn't stay overnight in the hospital ... my own choice. I think I made him a bit nervous because I was his first patient to go home. I'm a nurse at AGH and would recommend him as a surgeon for anything. He's very talented.

     

    Bandwise ... it was a tough first few days. Alot of gas pain and pain at the site where he repaired a small hiatal hernia. I've added a small amount of some very thin cream soups to my diet because I was getting hungry. Late last night and this morning, I'm having little pouch spasms that feel like burps that can't happen. I'm going to have a clear liquid day today and see if it calms things down.

     

    All in all, so far I'm happy with the procedure. Good luck and keep in touch. :-)
