I have been very satisfied with the way my surgery went. I have had no problems and I believe that Dr. Brian Swain is one of the best. He is very concerned about all of his patients.

Is there anyone still on here? I am having my surgery feb 11th and I am so nervous and so excited! I have read dr swains profile thing and glad there are good comments about him. Murray hospital scares me to death! I hope all goes well!

How exciting! Your surgery will be here before you know it. Dr. Swain knows what he is doing and is very good at it. I had a bit of a rough time. Not really sure why but perhaps it was the anethesia. I ended up being admitted to the hospital 2 days after surgery and then a second surgery 3 days after surgery because I had puked so much I had herniated some of my stomach over the band and I am NOT a puker. So if you are a puker make sure you tell them that and they will give you extra anti nausea meds. My stay in Murray hospital was fine. They took very good care of me. I hope I am not scaring you. My second surgery was a piece of cake and they say that is how it is for most patients the first time. The 4 others that got banded the same day as me all did fine.

Oh and make sure you go buy some gas x strips.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Does Dr. Swain have a website? I googled him and didn't really see one. Does he practice out of the hospital or have his own office??

He works out of the Bariatric office at the hospital. It's on the 4th floor of Medical Arts I think. Phone number is 762-1547

I was banded 9-22-11 by dr. Swain. I am very happy with him and his office!!
