Considering having lap band surgery in Phila

Any recommendations on who is the best in the Phila area.

Hi,

You can use this link from the Allergan/Inamed (makers of the lap band) web site to locate a surgeon in your area.

Inamed, a division of Allergan: Products: Obesity Solutions (US Patients)

I'm in Delaware, not far from you if you're in Philly. I went through Christiana Advanced Institure for Surgery and had my surgery at Christiana Hospital, all here in Newark, Delaware.

Hope this helps! :eek:

Dr. Noel Williams - University of Penn Hospital, I highly recommend him and his team. Good Luck on your journey!

I used Dr Kirkland & love him... He is at Penn Hospital... Look him up on the net he is a great surgeon in all that he does. I was banded by him on 10/5 & I felt no pain.. He is great with fills & wants you to be succsessful, he had me come for my 1st fill the other day so I do not have to suffer through thanksgiving... I will go again before christmas. I love everything about him.

I'm going to the Barix Center in Langhorne......Dr. Boe. Had my consult on the 24th of October and had my insurance approval by Nov 5th. I have my stress test this week and then hopefully I'll be off and running. I read about some "communication" shortcomings there, but called the administrator and they were quick to reassure me and offer me any help I needed and plenty of reassurance.

Good Luck!

Hi-Do you live in Langhorne-I am in Fairless Hills. A few people I have talked to recommended Temple Hospital in Phila. No sure about the Baratrix place in Langhorne-have not heard good things. Let me know how things go for you.
