He really is a wonderful Dr. I have been a patient of his for about 4 1/2 years now. He did my lap band 4 yrs ago. He just removed my gall bladder and lap band due to a slip. I decided to go with the sleeve because although i lost weight with the band (about 75 lbs), it didn't get me to where I want to be. Dr Abkin suggested either bypass or sleeve as a revision because more than likely repositioning the band would not give me the results I was looking for.

Throughout this whole process Dr Abkin and his staff have been so professional and efficient. I have never dealt with a Dr's office that was so efficient. It's obvious that his staff is very well trained. I would highly recommend him to everyone.

Dr. Wasser, how was your surgery. Any problems?

Dr. Wasser' date=' how was your surgery. Any problems?[/quote']

Ok I have Dr. Boynton in Lumberton. No problems with surgery at all! I was very nervous but it all went well. Just a lot of pain once I woke up but they quickly give you all the pain medicine you can stand. I only have three incisions, one hurts more than others. One weird thing there was music blaring in operating room. Lol last song I heard was "moves like jagger"!!

Nurses were ok, some better than others but all overall nice and attentive. Overall it wasn't to bad but I was soo glad to ne home. I'm two weeks out today and I'm feeling pretty good!
