Good luck and let us all know how it goes for you!

Prof Weiner did my original lapband surgery in 2001. I received very good care at that same hospital, although they kept me longer then i wanted to stay. At that time, German hospitals tended to keep people much longer then American counterpart for everything - not sure if that is still the case. This surgeon is very experienced in all types of bariatric surgery. Even though the band was a failure for me (just got it removed last week), I feel that Dr Weiner is top notch. For what it is worth, other doctors were impressed by how tiny and unnoticable my surgical scars were too.
