Dr. Schuster performed my lapband 7/08. I have lost 70lbs. He is not only a great physician, but he has such great "bedside" manner and is very supportive of my weight loss journey. I would highly recommend Dr. Shcuster to ANYONE!

What a terrific Christmas present! I also adore Dr. Schuster. He's very encouraging and even when I don't feel like I've done very well, I never dread having an appointment with him. I got the band in June of 2008 and I've lost right around 70 lbs.

I'm glad you have had a positive experience with him. Mine has been quite the opposite. He doesn't really seem to understand the psychology behind LapBand patients, which is as important as being able to perform the surgery (IMO). I dread every visit. I feel like a 5-yr-old waiting for my punishment for being bad.

Hi Lanette, please help me understand what you mean in saying he doesn't understand the psychology? Are you having trouble losing weight with your band or you don't feel he is interested in your journey?

I was so happy to see this message today because I've had exactly the same feelings about Dr. Schuster. I've struggled with the band since my surgery 13 months ago and he has never been the positive source of support that I need. I dreaded the visits so much that I stopped going for 6 months. When I went back today he made me feel like a failure and suggested removing the band if I can't solve my problems.

Did you lose weight before your first fill? I have only lost about 10 pounds. I haven't had a fill yet, I was just wondering.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
