Twin Oak Gal

Hello: I had lap band surgery with Dr Carson Liu in March of 2005 and did not have a good experience, first off I almost died of a pulmanary embolism in both lungs, which Dr Liu blamed on my taking birth control pills when his staff never even asked if I was taking them and then when I called to find out if I could continue to take them I was told it was ok. So I was still in the hospital when I crashed sent to ICU - recovered then got a macular hemmorage in my eye - and more complications from there. Biggest issue is I did not lose any weight! I could never get the band to be in a place where it worked - I was either throwing everything up or could eat whatever I wanted. I recently had a Colonoscopy and the Dr told me the band was placed too high and that is probably why it never worked for me. Dr Liu is a competent surgeon, however if your surgery is not successful my experience was that he is not interested in helping you.
