Hi everyone,

I'm new to all this so bear with me....I'll probably make tons of mistakes. I was originally supposed to lap-band surgery with Santiago Horgan but he moved to San Diego, so needless to say that was out. One of his fellows, Carlos Galvani has taken over the practice and I can't find much info at all about him. Have any of you guys used him or heard of him? This whole thing is getting so discouraging. Thanks for all your help, Linda

I had surgery with Horgan 2 years ago and HATED Galvani. He had an attitude problem and was a total jerk at my post-op appointment. I switched my care to Dr. Brian Lahman at Silver Cross Hospital in Joliet. If you have any questions please feel free to pm me here. ~Mandy

Hi! I live in Tucson, AZ and Dr. Carlos Galvani is here at the University of Arizona doing the lapband surgery. I liked him when I met him for my initial consult and have gone through all the "hoop jumping" of nutritional counseling, psychological testing, etc. but have heard NOTHING from the clinic. I have called and left 3 messages, but I am really expecting a fight from CIGNA insurance because of a clause which specifically states that no employees or their families can have any kind of treatment pertaining to obesity...Isn't that unfair? Good luck to you.
