I am in the process of pre testing for the lap band surgery with Barba in Hartford. I still have 7 lbs to lose before he can do the sugery and I can have the apt with Dr. Barba himself. I just cant seem to get these 7lbs off. Any suggestions.

Anyone using Barba. Any of you have the same problems?

My GYN doctor recommended Dr. Barba because his team is really good with getting approval for the lap-band procedure. Dr. Barba's staff was the utmost professional and Dr. Barba is very pleasant and truthful. The staff is very caring about the patient's needs and concerns. The practice now has a monthly support group and the office nutritionist Melissa was super nice and very informative. She will always call you back and even takes emails. I hope people find this helpful - Feel free to contact me at if you have any questions.

For the month of June 2008 only, the support group will be held in the Gengras Auditorium on the 1st floor of the 1000 Asylum Ave building in Hartford, CT. This support group is open for everyone.
