surgeons in st. louis Wagner or Minkin

So, I have seen both of these surgeons.   Both are experienced.   To me, one had a nice, friendly, helpful  office staff  and the other one not so much    Bottom line----I am MOST concerned with the skill of the surgeon and a healthy recovery----no leaks, and no other complications       Anyone with experience (especially recent) with either of these surgeons----please weigh in.   Minkin performs his surgeries at Des Peres and Wagner performs his at St. Anthony's or Mercy in Crystal City   Anyone with experience with these facilities please weigh in as well.  Thank you SO much!!!!!!!!!!!!!    Wagner also performs a single incision procedure and Minkin several incisions

I just had surgery with dr Minkin and he did an excellent job.  I had a lap band removed and revision to the sleeve.  He has taken excellent care of me and I highly recommend him.  Good luck with your decision.
