Hi all,

I am going to have lap band surgery in April.  I was sent to AGH in Pittsburgh, not a problem because I think it is a fine hospital.  Had my first visit with my surgeon, but neglected ask a few important questions, I am going to call them back to see what answers I get, however, it was suggested to me that I ask here. 

Has anyone had Dr. Urchal as their surgeon?  If so, what do you think about him?  I heard the practice wasn't so nice, the office staff was a little cold, but I didn't find that yet.  So, if anyone out there can give any information, I sure would appreciate it.

Cindy

It is for your doctors partner but it may help.
I had my surgery at Crozer Chester Medical Center. Things have greatly changed since I had my surgery there.

I echo HG - I can't give you any info - but this forum and this site is a great starting place!  Welcome to the boards!

Thanks for your kindness, I have been lurking on the lap band board since October, have been learning a lot.  It's nice to touch base with Pennsylvanians....
