My husband and I both used Dr. Powell. I was banded on April 27th and he on the 29th. We have both healed very well and have had no problems at all. Our 1st fills will be May 31st for him and June 1st for me. Dr. Powell is a trained heart surgeon who started doing the lap band procedure. I think he has done around 500 surgeries so far. My good friend had her surgery yesterday and she also used Dr. Powell.

I had surgery with him on August 9th. I've been very pleased with him and his office. My hubby is going to get banded with him sometime in January. :)

If you have any questions feel free to contact me.

No, he doesn't make you weigh in with your shoes, he has a special scale that does BMI and fat counts you stand on it barefoot w/o shoes or socks.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
