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)' date=' 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.[/quote']

Glad to hear you are doing well!

How long after your gall bladder surgery did you have your sleeve??

Hi! Surgery went great! Now if I could just eat a little bit more I'd be good to go. I have a constant full feeling and never want to eat. Thanks for checking in on me xx
