Hi laura, I responded on the main lap band board.

I met Dr Andrei at his seminar, and he reviewed my particulars, we has comunicated prior to the seminar via his staff member donna,most helpful, he determined that the lap band and rny was not suitable for me and refered me to dr.Gagner,at nypresb. he teacher. with any hesitation. and this is a hospital 40 miles further that the forty mile i had already traveled he assured me that he would be able to co operate and would be available for any emergecy follow up i needed as a patient of dr g. If you are to have a lap band, or rny dr andrei would be a fine choice, he trained with a master,dr gagner. who is world renown. I hope dr andrei advances to doing the ds. soon as i dont believe in the lapband or rny and urge everyone to learn about the ds proceedure before selection.
