Does anyone go to Pioneer Valley Surgical Associates?

HI! I'm a beginner here and wanted to know if anyone out there has been to Dr. Haag or Dr. Fiallo? I had my consult with Dr. Haag on November 1st and am starting the process now. Anything of note about these docs?:cry

I went to their office. I was banded by Dr. Fiallo on Oct. 5th. Today I had my first fill. I am down 42 pounds total, 22 since surgery. I feel great. I like them.

Hi-I have Dr. Haag. He gives the best fills. I have never had a twinge of pain. I had my surgery on 7/13 and have lost 50 lbs, I am happy with my choice. They also have a great lapband support group. I have heard positive about both docs, but more frequently for Haag. Good luck-let me know if you have other questions.

Hello, My name is Dawn. I have my first consult with Dr. Haag in January. I have been researching the surgery for about six months and have decided to go for it.

:eek:

I will be going to Pioneer Valley Surgical for my consult in January.

I am excited and nervous. Any comments would be appreciated. My consult is with Dr Haag.

Hi,

Hi,

I am new to this web site, and not too sure about how it works yet. I am a patient of Dr. Haag, and had my surgery Nov. 2008, I have since lost 65lbs. Dr. Haag was wonderful right from the start, and now I only see him once in a while for a fill. I have had 6 fills, and they have all been very easy. This is the best thing I ever did, and I am very happy I found the doctor that I did!:blink:

He is great! I have lost 155 pounds. His fills never hurt and he always seems to get them right where they need to be. Gotta love him!

Hello everyone. My name is Renee and I had my first consult with Dr. Fiallo in May. I have already gone through all the necessary steps for surgery and my follow-up is on August 31st. Then, hopefully, I will have a date for surgery. So far I am pleased with them. The support groups are wonderful. I wish everyone the best of luck on their journey.
