STAFF AND WEB SITE COORDINATORS ARE OUSSTAND GOOD SUPPORT FROM THE FIRST CONTACK DR A IS THE BOMB. HE WAS VERYPROFESSIONAL AND CLEAR AS TO WHAT HE WAS DODING THE MORNINBG OF SURG. CARE WHILE IN THE HOSPITAL WAS EXCEPTIONAL. TH STAFF ATTENDED TO MY EVERY NEED 24 HRS AD DAY. I STAYED 2 NIGHTS SO I WAS READY TO MOVE ON TO THE HOTEL TO RECOVER. I WOULD SAY ONE OF THE MOST IMP0ORTANT THINGS I LEARNED WAS THAT OTHER PATIENTS HAD A LAP BAND LIKE ME AND WENT THRU SIMILIAR BAD RESULTS LIKE ME. SO FOR ME THIS WAS GOOD TO HERE THAT THEY WERE GOING TO GET THE SLEEVE LIKE ME. THIS MADE ME FEEL REALLY POSITIVE.

THE HOTEL TICUAN WAS BEAUTIFUL AND A LOVELY PLACE TO STAY. THE TOMATOE BROUTH WAS REALLY GOOD.

I HAD ASKED TO BE DROPPED OFF AT THE BORDEERDUE TO THE FACT I LIVE IN IMPERIAL BEACH AND WAS ONLY 5 MILES AWAY AND THEY ACCOMODATED ME. THIS HELPED ME GET HOME IN 15 MINUTES THANKS SO MUCH
IF SOMEONE ASKED ME AGAIN WOULD I USE THIS SAME DR AGAIN FOR OTER PROCEDURES I WOULD SAY HECK YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I AM HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY. I FEEL THAT IN 3 MONTHGS THAT I SHOULD BE THE WEIGHT THAT WILL GIVE ME A healthy "BMI" I BELIEVE THAT EVENTUALLY I WILL BE ABLE TO COME OFF MY BLOOD PRESSURE MEDS BUT WILL CHECK IT OUT WITH MY LOCAL DR WHEN THE TIME COMES.

WITH MOST RESPECT TO THE DR AND HIS STAFF, THANKS FOR DOING MY PROCEDURE UR STAFF AND ALL THAT MADE THIS HAPPEN U ROCK ON.
