When are you going to his seminar? I might be at the facility that evening working out. You get 3 months of full access to a world quality health club and 5 personal trainer sessions.
I just had RNY May 4 2010. I originally thought of the band but after research I choose the RNY. I am not a month out yet but so far things are going good. It is really something you will need to reasearch and decide because it is such a life changing event. My surgeon is Dr. David Schumacher and I really like his office staff and him. I love Sycomore Hospital and thought my care there was awesome! The program they have is very educational. I also have a nurse that follows up with me and if I have questions or concerns I can call her (which I have several times already LOL).I do work with three ladys that have had the lapband and are doing great with it! Just use the power of the internet and do research. When I was thinking of doing this late last year I found alot of info on YouTube....lots of people with great suscess stories and actual surgery on video. Good luck to you!

But good luck. I hope you have a successful surgery and everything goes smoothly.
Take care,

My name is Jen and I live in Ohio. I'd like to ask anyone from Ohio who has had WLS if they would share their experience and who they had their surgery with.
I'm so confused on what to do...what surgery to have...where to go. I live closest to Dayton but am going to a seminar in Columbus. Has anyone had Dr. Myers in Columbus do their surgery?
I would love feedback and opinions. Has everyone had the band? Anyone had the gastric sleeve? I got one comment of don't get the band...too many after surgery complications. So that kind of scares me.
Thank you to anyone who takes the time to offer their advice!
Sincerely,
Jen

Dr. Lane seems to have a pattern of vanishing from hospitals. He also left Wood County Hospital back in the spring of 2008 during my time with him. I came in to see the dietician and there were boxes everywhere, he and his staff were gone. The Dietician (working for the hospital) and a maintenance man were the only ones there. I could feel that this wasn't a move Dr. Lane chose, someon chose it for him. Thankfully, I decided to stay and go with Dr. Peter Lalor, who the hospital hired from Maine. When I had my testing done at Wood County, I would ask every technician I came in contact with which Dr. they would choose and they said Dr. Lalor performs many tests before the surgery that Dr. Lane did not. He wants to know his patient from the beginning not when their being wheeled into surgery (like I have heard with Dr. Lane) and is much more careful after the surgery. Two women that I work with had their surgeries before me with Dr. Lane and have had nothing but problems. He has dropped the ball with their care so many times, it's surprising he still has his license. My co-workers could not find him and finally he saw one of them AT HIS HOME (after the Wood County Hospital incident) The whole situation at Wood County and now at MUO is too fishy....sounds like both hospitals let him go, not the other way around. Most reliable, trustworthy physicians who are changing offices don't up and leave without notice, drop their patient caseload, and do not contact patients of the upcoming move. Hopefully, Toledo Hospital will dig a little deeper into his situations and not make the mistake of hiring him like Wood County and MUO did.
