Hi,
I'm from SWH and just had my banding done on Monday. I had the same problem with UHC. I was already going to Dr. Spiegal, but they dropped me. I then was refered by UHC to Dr. Ira Kasper. He is very straight forward and I am happy with the results so far. Lost 10 lbs this week and down from 275 to 265. I would look him up on the internet.
I was, on the otherhand, not impressed at all with the hospotal. I had the proceedure at 12 oaks medical center and it was lacking to say the least in several areas. I was even released without any wound care instructions or other orders. They claimed the Dr. didn't leave any, but how can't you know about wound care? I assumed that is universal and not Dr. Specific.
