Hi, I am 26 looking for more info on the lap band. I live in Reno,Nv. I would like to be in a the support group.

I know Dr Teng & his partner, Dr Hanna personally & they are great guys! He is an excellent surgeon & is very strict with his patients. My friend & I started our own wls support group here & we were invited to visit Dr Teng's & Hanna's group where they basically turned the meeting over to us for a q & a from his patients. They reciprocated by attending one of our meetings & speaking & ending with a q & a for our members. They take a very personal & dedicated interest in their patients & their patients can't say enuf good things about them. If you are thinking of consulting with Dr Teng for your WLS, you should attend his support group meeting & see for yourself, what a great person he is & how his patients love him. good luck!!

I don't have much information, but I can tell you that Dr. Teng is with the Advanced Surgical Care Group. (702) 838/5888. Their offices are at 3150 N. Tenaya Way #680. As far as I know, Dr Teng only performs laprascopic surgeries (no open) of RNY and also does the Lap Band procedure. I believe that he practices at Mountainview Hospital and was appointed as an Asst. Clinical Professor. Unfortunately, I don't have any personal experiences that I can relate to you. Have you tried sending an email from this site requesting that Dr Teng formally register? It's worth a shot. Good Luck! Billie*
