My name is Rick. I am 35 yrs old and was banded on April 20, 2010 at MISH or also known as The Institute for Bariatric Surgery. Just wondering how many more of Dr K and Dr S patients are out there.

I am! Banded 3 days before you. So far, I'm pretty pleased with everyone there. You?

When do you have your first fill appt?

When do you have your first fill appt?

Im getting banded in june at kc Bariatrics

Dr. K was my surgeon - My surgery date was June 6, 2006. I now live in Colorado Springs (for the past 5 years) and finally got around to finding a new doc here a few weeks ago (I was seriously procrastinating!!).

Never had any problems, but when I went to the new guy, he asked many questions that I had no answers for. Apparently, most people know these things, but no one ever shared any of it with me at MISH. He asked what kind of band I have, how much it holds, how much is in it now, how much was an average fill, etc. I had no idea. He also did my first office fill - at MISH all of them were fluoroscopic. It never occurred to me that I should know all of those things, so I never asked, and no one ever volunteered the information. I would suggest asking questions so you are not in the dark.
