*waves to Lee Anne* That's a great place to look. If you want to travel you can come out here to Oregon and see Dr. Emma Patterson, who does the RNY, the DS and the Band all lap. Happy hunting! ~Peace

Hello, my lap DS was performed by Dr Clark Warden at Ocean Springs Hospital, MS. He's been doing the lap DS for about one year, but he is a highly skilled LAP surgeon with 12 years of lap experience. I had an extremely fast and trouble free recovery, I was out of the hospital in 3 days, I'm about 8 wks post op and down about 45 lbs! =)
