fairfeild bariatrics

i am going to my first seminar on the 26 at the milford library  i will be going to the fairfeild bariatrics any body use them ? how long do u  need to quit smoking ? how long is the prosses

Dr. Neil Floch is my surgeon. He did my RNY 3 yrs ago this July 7th. I may be at the seminar... If work permits. I did not smoke prior to surgery. Not sure of that answer. Towanda 

thanks towanda, wow 3 yrs how are you doing? i was considering  the RNY, after reading about it on the sight i decided that was not for me. i have been on this sight for 2 years now i am hoping to get the lap band...

Good luck. The lapband has as much success as the RNY. It all takes work... but doable. T.

I had lap band surgery done by Dr. Ehrlich - I can't say enough great things about the office! I don't smoke so I can't help you with that. Good luck! Nancy K

hi nancy thanks for your comment on the dr.  how have you been doing ? your one year will be here befor you know it !!! i did quit smoking a few months ago just wanted to know if there was a time fram for not smoking thanks again

Hi- Dr. Ehrlich is my guy- he's fabulous!  Of course, I have only seen Drs. Floch in passing and I've heard amazing things about them as well, but can't speak first hand.  Dr. Ehrlich is so caring and compassionate towards his patients.  I'm coming up on my first anniversary on 7/11 and can't wait to see him.  I have  been at a few pre-op seminars recently but they're at the Trumbull Marriott since that is about 5 minutes from my house.  I have a feeling that you will really like FCB! For the smoking, I didn't have to cross that off my list, but I would imagine that they will tell you that the sooner you can quit the better off you'll be.  Baby steps with that, but it's something that should be done for your health!

I'm using Dr. Tishler at Hartford Hospital.  I have never smoked, but I can tell you that during the initial seminar he told everyone that you had to quit smoking prior to surgery, that he could not operate on anyone who smoked.
