Surgeon Testimonial

Wanda Kaniewski, M.D., F,A.C.S
My first impression of Dr. Kaniewski was her sense of style. No I am not kidding! She was dressed in a very classy Ralph Lauren outfit which was a compliment to her knowledge as a doctor.rnrnShe did a very indepth review of my medical records and did an excellent job of explaining the outcomes and the rules associated with the lap band. She took the time to answer all the questions I had and was able to get me on her surgery schedule in a short amount of time. rnrnHer staff was helpful and friendly. She does have a structured aftercare program and/or support group meeting monthly which is physician facilitated as well. rnrn

4.5cc's in my 4cc band
on July 13, 2007 12:03 pm
yikes!  This is as much as they will put in.  The only other option is to use a heavier liquid in the band.

Hope this works.  Need to take my measurements again.
