" My surgeon is Dr. Sasse, and I believe him to be an excellent surgeon and a sensitive and compassionate human being. We have come a long way together. I've ended up having 4 surgeries related to my banding, and with each surgery I came to respect him more. I feel that despite the post op infections I had, Dr. Sasse did everything within his power to ensure that I would have a good outcome. I wish the Band would have worked for me, but do not blame Dr. Sasse at all for the complications I've had. If you have any questions, please email me. "
