My Mom and I are both using Dr. Powell. We had our pre-op last week. She is schedfule for June 7 (her name on here is Dixie) and I am scheduled for June 20. Have you seen him yet?

I am scheduled for June 1----really nervous but excited to get on with this

journey!! Do you know of anyone who has been banded by Dr. Powell? Do you

feel comfortable with your selection of surgeons? I have been satisifed so far

with everything but I just do not know anyone else who has first hand experience. Thanks!

My husband and I both used Dr. Powell. I was banded on April 27th and he on the 29th. We have both healed very well and have had no problems at all. Our 1st fills will be May 31st for him and June 1st for me. Dr. Powell is a trained heart surgeon who started doing the lap band procedure. I think he has done around 500 surgeries so far. My good friend had her surgery yesterday and she also used Dr. Powell.

Does he make you weigh in with shoes?

I had surgery with him on August 9th. I've been very pleased with him and his office. My hubby is going to get banded with him sometime in January.

If you have any questions feel free to contact me.

No, he doesn't make you weigh in with your shoes, he has a special scale that does BMI and fat counts you stand on it barefoot w/o shoes or socks.
