Aw, Im so happy I could be helpful!!

Actually there's a seminar this Thursday at Lee Memorial Hospital (off of 41) I will be there and if you'd like to you can go there and meet Dr. Shieh. He is wonderful, I also work in the OR at Lee and he's a great surgeon and a person.

Hopefully I can see you soon!

Thanks for the kind words:laugh:

Do you know if he will take patients tht had th lapband out of country? If so, Do you know what he charges for a fill with flouro? Thanks!

I know that he does take lap band patients that have had it done elsewhere, as for the fluro fills, I am not sure. I was just banded on August 11 and actually havent even had a fill yet. Everyone at the office is very nice and can help you. Just tell them that Kathy is a friend and they will get you in.

Hi Kathy. My husband and I are finishing our last 2 months of "6 months of required weight loss attempt." Hopefully Dr. Shieh will band us upon approval. So far he and his staff have been fantastic!

Congratulations! I am very excited for you. I work for Lee Memorial Health System, Dr. Shieh is wonderful, I love him so much!

There is a support group meeting at Lee Memorial on 41 downtown. This Wednesday in Room 7124 at 530pm with Carrie Blount, There are usually people in there that are ready to have surgery and people that have already had the Lap band. I will tell you, the support group meetings are aweeesome! They really make a huge difference, if you can make a few of them before your surgery you will be really glad you did.

Well, I am at work and I have to get going. But please feel free to email me at my personal email address at work is kathleen.roderiques@leememorial.org anytime if you have questions about anything.

Thank you so much. I'm really worried about getting approved, but I'll keep praying and jumping through hoops. :-)

Hello, I just found this site tonight, and so far it's been extremely helpful and educational. Thank You, to all that post questions, suggestions and good advice. I went to Dr Moses Shieh's seminar on Thurs, & I thought he was great. I've been to a few seminars but I thought he was the best! He offered a lots of detailed info, seemed very patient & knowledgeable..... So far, he's my choice.
