I had lap band surgery in February 20Ten. So far its been an amazing experience. My doctor, Dr. Carson Liu is an excellent doctor, which was referred to me. Before I met with Dr. Liu, I had a consultation at 1-800-GET-THIN. My experience at GET-THIN and Dr. Liu's were like night and day. When I walked into the offices of GET-THIN in Los Angeles, on Wilshire, I felt like I was being cattle into the lap-band procedure. Everyone who had an appointment at 10 am was all placed in a room together. The front desk lady looked like a billboard that read "we do breast augmentations; lip enhancements and booty implants!" The surgical room is on the premises and it seemed like their staff members were on fast speed. I felt like they were treating me like cargo that was tagged "OPERATE NOW" or "OPERATE LATER"! So after that experience, I explained to my general doctor that I wanted the lap-band and he then recommended Dr. Carson Liu. When I walked into Dr. Liu's office on Wilshire; I felt like a patient and not cattle. His office is very pleasant and has a real nice atmosphere. His staff members are very nice and were not pushy as if they were trying to force me into getting the lap-band. In his office there's nothing but informative literature and infomercials that helped me while I waited to meet with Dr. Liu. From the time I arrived until the time I left; I felt like the day had been set aside just for me. When I met Dr. Liu, I was thinking WOW he's young with all this experience behind him. Dr. Liu is a true professional, which he exemplifies in his office and his knowledge of weight loss surgery. He made me feel so comfortable by taking his time explaining every detail of the surgery to me and only me. After meeting with him; I knew right away that I wanted him to perform my surgery. My surgery was performed at Cedars Sinai, and not in Dr. Liu's office. I was under a team of Bariatric professionals that comforted my woes regarding surgery and assured me that I was in the best hands with Dr. Liu. Dr. Liu is a phenomenal weight loss surgeon, who has helped me on my way to a healthy weight loss of 50 pounds and counting.  Thank you Dr. Liu!
