Hi, I live in New Haven and I am thinking about lap band surgery. I was wondering if anyone can recommend a local surgeon. I've already attended a seminar where Dr. Nadzam gave the presentation. I've read good things about Dr. Elmer Valin. Please share your experiences. Thanks.:grouphug:

What state do you live in?

hi i haven,t been banded yet, but my pcp recomended dr.robert bell at yale newhaven hospital he,s the doctor that,s doing my surgery. still waiting on a surgery date.

I am from Connecticut. I will try to find out more about Dr. Bell. Thank you. Have you heard anything about the physician's I mentioned?

I am also from CT. I am currently awaiting insurance approval. I am using Fairfield County Bariatrics. They have offices in Norwalk and Bridgeport. They work out of Norwalk Hosptial and St. Vincients. A coworker had her lapband done last year at St. Raphael. She loved her surgeon. Hope this helps.
