I am having my surgery done by Dr. Weiner on 2/17 just wondering if anyone else has been to him???

Hi!

That's where I'm planning on going - with Dr. Webber. I still haven't even gotten the paperwork going yet, so I'm a little far from the procedure. I'd like to hear how it goes. Are you in Detroit or coming from somewhere else? I guess they get alot of out-of-towners.

Hi Likeblanche and Marci:

I'm another Detroiter. Although I'm not going to Harper (I was born there though in '64), I'm going to Oakwood in Dearborn with Dr. Bacal. My date is 3/12/09. Best of luck to you both. It would be nice to keep in touch and cheer each other on.

Hello all! I'm sorry to have missed this question earlier. I had my surgery 11/8/07 at Harper, and I really like Dr. Weiner. He is a very good surgeon, and I've had no complications or issues. I live outside of Toledo, Ohio and make the commute when I need a fill. I had a pretty good experience at the hospital - nurses were mostly good, etc. I have lost 83 pounds to date, and could not be happier with the band. It's a struggle, mentally, sometimes, but well worth it. Please keep us informed, since you are now post-op! My biggest complaint after surgery was the shoulder/gas pain right after surgery, but it was temporary. Best of luck! La Chaim!
