I had my band placed by doctor Carl Weiss may 21st 2008 and I have nothing to say but good things about him and his amazing team he works with. They are ALL very supportive and have truly given me my life back. I started at 343lbs and im now down to 218lbs.

With this team of caring people you get support groups every Wednesday , a Nutritionists that's very easy to get a hold of and even an appointment with a Physical Therapists to start you off on easy but effective exercises. The surgeon Doctor Weiss is simply amazing and i suggest auburn for anyone who is looking to change there lives and work with a winning team.

I also have Dr. Weiss and the team there is great....I feel so comfortable there. I remember being nervous at one point pre-op, and Dr. Weiss saying " I'll take care of you" or something to that effect and from that point on I have felt very comfortable and worry free. Family asked if I was worried about surgery and I was like "Nope, I have God and my surgeon taking care of me, not nervous at all." I wasn't even very nervous day of surgery. I would recommend the team in Auburn and Dr. Weiss to anyone....but just remember u are in control and must do the work...as Dr. Weiss emphasizes...the band is a tool, not a magic bullet...you have to eat as directed and exercise.

Good luck to anyone starting their journey. I am about one year out and would do it all over again in a minute...loving my journey. I'm down about 70 lbs in first year and that is without exercising for two months due to tendon issues in left foot.
