4/12/10 I also have a low BMI and am being banded by Dr. Ward at Allied Surgical Group in NJ (out of pocket of course). I have researched him and the facility and have not found any negative results. The consult was informative and relaxed, no rush and he was very patient with all questions. I'm going in on the 20th. I'll keep you guys posted.

Anyone know of a Dr. in NYC that will band at 33 BMI? I'm hesitant to go to Mexico for the procedure as I would like the same doctor that does the procedure to do my followup care. I have been scouring the net, and sending email inquiries with no responses. Any help is greatly apprecaited. Thanks in advance.

I seeking a qualified, reputable surgeon to perform my lapband surgery. I am a 37 year old woman, 5'4 and 200 pounds. I am 24 pounds short of the necessary weight for surgery. My weight effects my every waking moment, to the point where I do not want to leave my house. I am tired, sluggish and uncomfortable moving around. If anyone could help with a referral I would greatly appreciate it. I'm located in NYC but am willing to travel within the states. Thank you and congratulations to all who have changed their lives and happiness factor for the better with this proceudre.
