Hi my name is Terry Cain, I live in Bakersfield,Ca.
I meet Dr. Cuneen in march of this year at my Dr. office here. He came to Bakersfield at the request of my heart/weight dr. My first visit with Dr. Cunneen was very plesent and lots of information. I got a tote bag with vidio cd, books that explain everything very well. He kept asking me if I had any question, worried about anything, and what i might know about the lapband my self. We discussed what i knew and than he gave me so much more information that i didn't know. I was very nervus at my first meeting with him not knowing what to expect or what to ask. So to put me at ease he ask what I knew about the lapband. He made me feel very confortable with in a few min. after talking with him.
My surgery date was July 8 2010, at Ceder and everything went great. the only problem i had was getting rid of the gas that was trap in my belly.Not everyone has this problem, i was one of the few that do. There were other patients there of his that were doing great, up and walking with no problems. i am alergic to latex and the surgery tape they use to put on the smaller cut. Dr. cuneen and his staff took great care to make sure there was no latex in the surgery room and special care about the surgacial tape. Before surgery Dr.cuneen came in preop and visited with me to make sure i was still wanting the surgery and feeling positive about it. He showed to be very caring.
I had my first band adjustment last week and he was just as carring and concern as when I first meet him and in surgery.
I gave my brother his card, he is going in to see dr. cuneen in oct.
I hope you do go see Dr.Cunneen, I think he has done a great job.
