Topic: RE: Has anyone gone through Oband?
I have my surgery scheduled with them for April and so far I am super happy with them. Out of pocket is very low (which makes this an affordable option for me)
Quite a few people I work with have gone thru them for their sleeves with no complications so I feel I am making the right choice.

Topic: RE: Trying to Choose a Surgeon
Before you make any decision please give a call to LV Bariatrics and Dr Bernie Hanna. The staff is wonderful and really seem to care. Dr Hanna leads the seminar and has a great personable presence. He has been chosen as a Top Doc in the area and is very good at what he does. I have been a patient since November 2011 and had the gastric bypass on 2/22. The staff even called to check on how I was when i was still in the hospital.
They have even started a walk for health group that meets once a month at various parks for patients, family, office staff and yes DR Hanna as well....The office that cares!!!
Good luck

Have you thought about going to Tijuana Mexico? You would pay half the price for comparable care! You being in lower Nevada, you could easily drive to San Diego and get to tj if you needed followup care. Check it out on this forum under the international forum and click Mexico, I'm going in June. Just think about all the money you can save, and put towards vacations or plastics!

I am. I could kick myself for not having kept detailed records of all the diets I have attempted in the past few years. That would have helped big time. I am going ahead as planned anyways. I did the nutrition class Thursday. I can't believe they charge $100 for that. I have gotten WAY MORE info from all you guys here. Geesh!! LOL. I am gonna push for Dr. Umbach to submit for approval. I have major back problems. I am not sure, physically, if I can go another 2 years. And WLS is cheaper than spinal surgery.
