I had a VGB in May 2002 by Dr. Hamn. I have lost 85lbs and it was the best decision I have ever made. He is a very compitant doctor with a lot of experience. His pain management, pre-op testing, and post-op care were great.

I went for my initial consult with Dr. Hamn and found him to be very cold and matter of factual. He has done over 900 surgeries, but he only wanted to do the band for me. I did not want the band. He was the only surgeon I could find though that took my insurance. Fortunately, the surgeon that ultimately did my RNY opened a new office in my PCP's unused half of office. I saw him for my initial consult, got approved, had my tests done, and had my surgery, faster than I got in for my initial consult with Dr.Hamn. Ifelt my better with the new surgeon, and he surprised me with the amount of care he showed. He was at the hospital at 6:00am the morning of my surgery, and in my room at 11:00pm that night for the 2nd time that night. He was the perfect choice for me. I don't think Dr. Hamn would have done that. He wanted me to lose weight before he would even operate.Good Luck in your sugery. I'm 2 weeks out and down 40 pds

I have been to both of them and did not like them. I went to dr Hamm first and He told me what type of surgery he did and at the time I was just starting out and after going to him i decide that I wanted the RNY and when I called back, they told me that Dr Hamm did not do these (had already been approved for the surgery and had a date) unless the band did not work. So they wanted me to go to Dr Cribbins and after all of that I was not happy with his office so I have changed Drs now.
