Worried in Maine

[lcjmaine 0]

I am at the end of the qualification process for lap band and most recently attended a required public information session Casco Bay Surgery held here in South Portland. I was fine with all of the people I have had contact with up until now but did not like the surgeon who did the presentation. He seemed unprofessional. I would be interested to hear from anyone who has had their surgery with that center and how things went. These are the only guys in this area, so there isn't an option to call someone else at this point. Thanks

LCJ,

I have been going through Casco Bay and have been real successful. I do know what you are talking about though. I went to the session awhile back and kind of thought what an arrogant SOB. I ended up with the other surgeon and everything has worked out. I had surgery on 9/9 and so far so good. There is also a Maine specific group on these pages too, Have you looked in there?

Good luck!!!

Thanks Twiley. That was exactly my response to him also! I am scheduled with the other surgeon, so maybe that will work out. I would be interested in hearing how you are doing as things go along. How long were you out of work? (assuming you work outside your home) Any complaints?

Today was my first day back to work. I was out a total of 8 days. I probably could have gone last Friday but figured I would rest up. Good thing. I was quite tired this afternoon.
