  1. I am the same way if you are self pay i recommend Dr.A My mom and I were banded by him in 2006,and i have sent 4 ppl to him this year..I was even lucky enough to join my cousin and a co-worker on their trip down in March.I am almost 2 yrs out and have lost 172lbs.I went from a very tight 26W to a size 10.I am just amazed at how this thing works.I have not had one bit of trouble with my band.Good luck with your search for a surgeon!
  2. Dr.A and his staff are the BEST in my book.I had my surgery in June of '06 and went back the first part of March with my cousin and a co-worker.They both loved their experiences!And had I a BLAST just getting back to see everyone!I had my band adjusted while we were there and they made sure I got a liquid tray when they brought my cousins.I am almost 2 yrs out and have lost 172 lbs.I went from a VERY tight 26W to a 10.Any one looking to be banded by Dr.A will be extremely happy with their decision.
