To all of you out there that are still only thinking about having the lap band surgery, or you haven't had a consultation yet, or maybe you're still trying to find the right Dr. well, you came to this forum. This is the right place, you have found the best Dr. out there. Dr. Salimitari is the best Dr. I've ever had. I've had several Dr.'s and I've worked with dozens of Dr.'s, none of them even come close to comparing with Dr. Sal. He makes me feel like I'm the most important patient he has (of course I'm not) but he has that special something about him that makes you feel like you are. He is always concerned about me and my well being, he calls / texts me to check up on me. I feel like I have a friend in him, someone I can, and have talked to, confided in, he's never to busy to listen to me. If you just see him one time, you'll know what I'm talking about. You can't help but fall in love with him, you'll know right away.....he's one of a kind!!!!!! I've referred my patients to him and my friend had the surgery with him 1 month ago, their doing well, they also think the world of him. His new office is very nice also, the girls are very helpful and friendly. Don't put it off any longer, you won't be sorry, the only thing I've regreted...is waiting so long. I could have had my life back a long time ago. But then again, if I'd had it done earlier, I wouldn't have found the awesome Dr. that I did.:scared2:

I am truly an unusual case. In 2004 I went to Mexico and had my Lap Band done. I had one complication after another. In 2006 I had to have it re-done by a local Dr. who I wont name. (My band slipped)

I wasn't happy with my revision surgeon. We just weren't on the same page.

After exhaustive research, I found Dr. Sal. He is an amazing doctor and man. I appreciate his fantastic bedside manner but what is more important to me is his ability and skill.

I spent 3 months just researching lap band doctors in the L.A area. I met with 4 different docs for a consult. I am really serious about making this work for me and don't take my health lightly.

Dr. Sal is the doctor I chose. I can't say enough about him. I challenge anyone to find another doctor who gives out his private cell phone number!!

Doctors usually dont give patients the feeling that they are listening. Not the case with Dr. Sal. I actually have to end our appointments!! He wants to talk more and I have to go.:thumbdown:

I am so happy to have found such a skilled and kind doctor.

Good luck to anyone taking this journey.
