Hi everyone, my hubby and I are moving to Sioux Falls in September from Hawaii and we would like to know of any lap band doctors in the area. Any help anyone??? Mahalo for the help.

Dr. Obrien at Sanford is your best bet.

Dr. Orbrien at Sandford is my doctor as well :thumbup:

However I would have your current doctor maybe help you with a referral? Might make the process easier?

Thanks Annie, and Chewy. My doc doesn't have a recommendation for us. But I have a job interview at Sanford, so maybe I can check him out while I am there. That would be the perfect thing for me. I am looking forward to moving to Sioux Falls. I have never lived anywhere but in Hawaii, so it will be a big change for me. Mahalo again

I heard that there is another doctor at Avera McKennon, and they have a support group there. anyone else go there?

Yes his name at Avera McKennan is Dr. Thamert or Dr. Strand.

I am a patient of Dr. O'Brien however I go to the McKennan support group the second Thursday of every month at the Avera McKennan Fitness Center.

Welcome!!

I see Dr. Thaemert at Avera McKennon - he is awesome and so is his nurse, Mel. Never have had a problem getting in to see him if I need to. I highly recommend him!!
