Had lapband surgery. Paid cash out of pocket for it. Lasted about 8 months it slipped ended up in emergency room. Nothing I did it just happens to about 2 percent of people. His bedside manner was horrible after surgery. He said to me when you get insurance or money come back and see me. I am in pain. Have dilated esophagus from it. Hiatal hernia from it. I made appointment in office to beg for help. Expecting to see him because I did get insurance. He was not ever there. Sent in someone else that promised to help. Said I needed a scope run down first to see exactly what was going on. Make a long story short, they have yet to call and set anything up. I have called and called. They don’t know what I talking about. Please do not use this doctor. They will not take care of you afterwards. I have had several people from hospital and I quote. ( say they wouldn’t let him work on there dog ). Wish I would have knew. Hope this help someone from going through what I… am still going through.
