Well I found this to be true UNTIL>>>> I moved from Pittsburgh area in October of 2008 and could not find a fill doctor to touch me because I had my surgery at West Penn Bariactric Center of Excellence ( Dr Urbandt) he is wonderful ... I miss them ...BUT I have since found here in Arizonia a doctor at the AZ Weight LOSS SOLUTIONS ... DR. DON HEFFEL9480-419-2280 he is fablous the whole team is. It was so stressful finding a doctor to take you if you did not have surgery done by them. I do believe we should be told these things. I have not had any problems so far my surgery was done April 2008 and to date I have lost 65 lbs maybe slow but it has made a world of difference in my health ... NO diabetes and almost done with blood pressure ...I take maybe a 1/2 pill every other day... I am so glad I did the LAPBAND. Good Luck to all!:thumbdown:
