ral1012 1 Posted June 6, 2013 What type of doctor is best suited to perform the lapband surgery? Should I be looking for a general surgeon, a gastroenterologist, someone else? Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kime-lou 648 Posted June 6, 2013 You want a doctor with Bariatic certification. My doctor holds a miminally invasive general surgery and bariatic sugery certification. I read up my docs in my area and he seemed to have the most experience and the most publications- meaning he is still learning and on the for front. Once you get some names in the area- google them. You could be surprised what you can find. 2 kll724 and DELETE THIS ACCOUNT! reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kll724 3,055 Posted June 6, 2013 I agree, you should seek out an experienced Bariatric surgeon. Mine has done hundreds over the last 5 years. Mine, also, happens to do other type surgeries, such as gall bladder. Bets wishes on your search 1 DELETE THIS ACCOUNT! reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
