mommy2kaylea 0 Posted August 24, 2005 Hi all..I'm just now starting the process of the lap-band. I am researching doctors and would like to know if anyone has anything good or bad to say about the lapbandsolutions and Dr. Matthew St.Laurent? He is with the Meth Willowbrook hospital. Thank you all!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kimmcneely 1 Posted August 25, 2005 I used Spivak and not only is he terrific but his staff is every bit as good if not better. They are all very helpful and from the time of my consult to the time of my surgery it was only a little over a month. They did everything in their power to get me approved and it worked. Good Luck!

happyk 0 Posted September 11, 2005 Nothing really exciting, a small questionnaire, they weigh ya, check your insurance, then you meet/talk to the doctor, i don't think he does any test or anything until you have insurance approval, seems very nice. Not sure what happens after that, but i'll let ya know. what insurance do you have? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YellowRose 0 Posted September 13, 2005 Thanks, I have called his office for further information. I am having surgery for Carpal Tunnel on this week, and the pre-op nurse also said that he is a really great doctor and very good looking as well. I am looking forward to working with him on my journey to finding the inner me:) Also, can anyone help me to get the ticker on the my messages??
