    I 100% recommend Dr. Wagner. His office staff is great, and he has a great reputation for success. But I think one of the most important things is he does all of his fills in front of the x-ray machin

Just curious whether there are any St. Louis bandsters out there. Who did you use and where you happy with everything? Thanks!

I was beginning to think I was the only one. I was banded this week, May 16th and Dr. Mario Morales was my surgeon. He is at DePaul Hospital. I have nothing but good things to say about him. Once I finally got to me him, he took his time, sat down, and explained everything to me. He didn't make me feel rushed like so many doctors do. Also, he didn't try to sale me on the band. He was very honest in telling me that the band will do some of the work, but I would have to be dedicated to work along with the band.

    Yep, Dr. Van Wagner is supposed to be one of the best according to the docs around here. But of course, I have nothing to compare him too!

    I've had no problems with him or his staff, other than I think his resident dietician is too young.....lol

But I think one of the most important things is he does all of his fills in front of the x-ray machine - I think it might be called a fluroscope. To me, doing fills any other way is doing it blindly. His way, you are watching the live results on a screen as he's doing the fill and he can tell how tight your fill is. I'm so glad he does this.

    Hello! I am in St. Louis, also! I will be using Dr. Eagon out of Wash U/Barnes Jewish Hospital. I just received my surgery date of July 13th (yes, that far out due to work schedules - nothing to do with the office)... The office staff has been wonderful so far. I have been in there once for a visit and I will go again 2 weeks before surgery to get last minute stats and info on file.
