ELENATION 0 Posted January 3, 2008 Hello guys, I'm not too happy with my current doctor, he is not a big supporter of the band, he is more into RNY... Plus, he is very far from me now... I haven't had a fill for a while due to esophagus dilation... but I must get back on track... I will pay for my own fills... I'm looking for a doctor that could give me my fills and a doctor that is supportive of the band and his band patients , encouraging, and helpful and/or with a helpful band oriented staff. I live in Chicago, I could go to the suburbs as well.. Thank you so much Elena Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TINABOBINA 0 Posted January 7, 2008 Hi Kim, I am also being banded by Dr Cahill next month. A friend of mine from work was banded by him about 5 months ago. She had nothing but good things to say about him and his staff. When is your surgery date? Or have you already been banded? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi there, As a doctor I trust him 150%, I just didn't get enough support for the band, since the beginning, he leaned towards RNY since day one and I just don't feel like he really likes the band that much, but this is just my opinion... his staff is nice...but they couldn't help me with the fills any longer, I was banded 2 years ago... got esophagus dilation about a year ago and then the new insurance doesn't cover the fills and well, it hasn't been a good year for me, but again, as a doctor, I think he is excellent... BTW, my middle name stands for Marie! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
