    I don't know Dr Schmitt but I hear he is good too. I stayed one day in the hospital and it was fine. I haven't had any band problems. My problems include a lack of motivation on my part. I lost 40 lbs. I recently had all of my fluid taken out due to the band being too tight. I am slowly working my way back up in fills. Looking forward to losing 40 more. Good luck. PS. My port is in my chest. This seems to be easier to find when doing fills. I haven't had any problems. You might ask about it.

    Dr. Miles at Medical Center East did my band two years ago. It was $16,000. Love him, he is great.
