Dr. Carson Liu

[CassWJ 0]

Dr. Liu is actually in several places but he does the surgery in a couple of different surgery centers. Two of them being Midway Hospital in West L.A. and the O-Band Surgery Center in Westwood, Ca. I had my original surgery done with Dr. Liu and his team on 3/11/03 and would not make any other choice. At the time he was at Century City Hospital, which is now closed. I had dealt with other surgeons and I would not go with anyone else. I know someone mentioned a surgeon they would go into surgery with but would not invite them into their home for a bbq. I would not only invite Carson Liu into my home but I would invite him along on our family vacation!! If I had my choice now, I would use the O-Band center and deal with his Program Director, Gedion Ismael. You walk in there anxious and nervous and walk out of there after meeting Gedion and Carson and feel like you have your whole life ahead of you and that there are people that care about you. I can't put into words how much they mean to me and how much of my life they have given back to me. I was in a major car accident 6 months after being banded. I had lost about 60 pounds. Well, I gained all of my weight back, PLUS!, when I saw a picture of myself and realized what had happened to me about 15 months later. I called Gedion, got in to Dr. Liu, was in surgery the next day where he realized my port had cracked right in half and he had to replace it. It happened in the accident. Dr. Liu didn't look at me as though he was disappointed in me for gaining the weight back. He simply said "Let's get back on track and try again". He was very encouraging, the whole staff was and they all continue to be. Since the port replacement I have lost 84.6 pounds and have another 50-60 to go. It's been a long road but with the backing of Dr. Liu and his staff, I KNOW it will happen. If you have ANY questions, feel more than free to ask me about them. :clap2:

Great information. Thank you! I feel the same way about this staff even though I haven't had my surgery yet. They have been very infomative and with me every step of the way during the last 3 months of getting approved for this. I'm so excited that I've been approved.

I do not know Dr. Liu, however a very well-placed associate of mine has suggested, professionally, that his (Dr. Liu's) Lap Band placements are not among the best. He has repaired a number of Dr Liu's "jobs".

Again...I have no connection to, and have never met Dr. Liu, but I am providing this information merely for the consideration of potential patients.

@ S,

I'm sure you work for 1-800-GET-THIN or 1-800-GET-SLIM or Top Surgeons or whatever the name of that place is now. Dr. Liu is a fantastic surgeon and saved my life! :cursing:

Just had my band done on Tuesday(Sept 28th) I did my research and he is so highly regarded in his field. I'm happy so far and his staff are awesome.
