Was wondering if anyone has gone thru St. John's for their lapband or know anything about their program? I've been looking at their website, and they look very qualified.

About a year and a half ago, I was looking into the lapband, and with the 12 month 'diet' I made it 9-10 months with merida, but it lost it effectiveness, and I had decided on Dr. Deol, and you all know know what happend there~so here I am again, about 20 pounds heavier even!

I've been reading lots of your recent posts, but haven't seen any about St. John.

Nice to be back! And now the BCBS has lightened up, I am ready to go again!

No One? It looks like they've been around for awhile.

Shelby ~ Not sure what side of town you are on. But I went through the Royal Beaumont Weight Control Center and Dr. Krause did my surgery. I would highly recommend the center all the staff and doctors are great. They offer various lectures, cooking classes, etc. too. Good Luck.

Shelby, I was banded June 10th @ St. John hosp. My experience was awesome!!! Dr. Hawasli is the best by far. I did my research with a couple different doctors at SJH. I am only 4 days post surgery and I feel great!!! I would highly recommend Dr. Hawasli.

Cheri~Thank you so much for responding! Please keep posting about your progress!!
