Bay Area Bandsters - Dr Alami At Kaiser

[giveyouthemoon 4]

Hi all, just had revision surgery with Dr Alami at Kaiser and I can't say enough wonderful things about him. He has a great bedside manner, asks a lot of questions, and really cares about the patient.

When the Dr got inside to fix my band, he found a lot of scar tissue. I think a lot of surgeons would have just taken out the band and called it a day. Dr Alami spend an extra hour in the operating room removing scar tissue and reworking my stomach so I could have a new band. He went above and beyond, and for that I'm very grateful.

If you end up with Dr Alami, you are in good hands.

Just wanted to give my two cents since I know many prospective bandsters will come here to look for recommendations.

Update: Just found out that Dr Alami is leaving the Bay Area to go back to his family home in Lebanon. I'm *very* sad as he was a true asset to bariatric surgery.

I'm getting follow up from Dr Li now, who is the Director of Bariatrics at Kaiser. He's not a very warm, friendly guy, but has a great resume. And the rest of the staff at Kaiser in South San Francisco are top notch.
