Hello MA Bandsters,

Has anyone used Dr. Hess or BMC for the lapband? If so, opinions please?

I met him yesterday and he is wonderful!! A friend of mine had him do the surgery and she couldn't rave about him enough...

Are you seeing him?

I had my first consult with him on Oct. 2nd. I absolutely loved him, he was wonderful. I really liked Nurse Coordinater Tony as well. I am scheduled for my testing on Oct. 20th. Whens your next appt?

Since I just had my consult, I haven't received info on testing dates etc....I'm very borderline at 35BMI, so I'm hoping I can get the green light....and I'm hoping I don't chicken out. My husband isn't very keen on me having surgery at all which makes it a bit harder to make a definate decision on having the surgery. I'm going to start the process and see what happens...

I saw him at Quincy Medical, did you go to BMC?

I am going through BMC. My husband is having it too, so no problems there for me. He should have his lapband placed in Nov. or Dec.
