My surgery was 9/26 and I got the sleeve. Did you get the sleeve or the bypass?

Lapband -> Riverside Medical Clinic (Dr. Zainabadi) Terrible, terrible Doctor (No longer performing surgeries, no longer with medical group). Also the medical group cancelled the program.

RNY Revision -> Loma Linda University Medical Center (Dr. Scharf) Amazing Doctor, has unbelievable credentials. Their program is absolutely fantastic.

Based on my experience, I would suggest to go with a teaching university, they stay on top of the latest technologies, usually have state of the art equipment, and are borderline OCD on your stats, your health, and your education. In my instance, only "real" surgeons perform the surgery, but student surgeons observe. Benefit? Two sets of eyes for everything (My morning rounds were a real doctor followed by 15 medical students). I gave the one student doctor a hard time (tongue in cheek). I could tell he was nervous. He asked me if I could tell him my name. I replied "Yes". He smiled, the 15 students chuckled, and I broke the ice for him. He thanked me later.
