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.

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.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
