I heard through a friend that the staff didn't treat people very well. that's all. You must live close to me b/c that hospital is only like 10 miles from my house. haha! I had my done at Scottsdale Healthcare Hospital.

Liza, I had my lap-band done at that hospital on Dec 3rd 2008 and I have to say I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the entire staff. I started working with them over a year before my surgery was finally done and the staff was so nice they submitted the request to the insurance company 3 times before we got approval but they never stopped trying. My Surgeon is Dr. Schuster (I think that is how it is spelled) but he is the greatest and seems to be a very caring person. Do you have your lap band done there?

I cannot say enough good things about Banner Gateway Bariatric. Their entire staff is AWESOME.... I have been seeing them every few months since last March.

I "interviewed" 5 or 6 potential surgeons before deciding to go with Dr. Schuster. His support staff was a HUGE part of my decision... they are extremely attentive, and wonderful at following up.

Dr. Schuster himself is an awesome guy... very down-to-earth, straight-to-the-point, with a great sense of humor.

I definitely give their program two thumbs up!! :tongue:

These posts are rather old. I am wanting to know about the other surgeons in the group? What were your experience. Did they seem to listen to your concerns.

Also how are the groups?

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
