"On My 1st visit I was very impressed with the caring & warmth of the entire office staff, they were concerned & extremely helpful. The monthly pre nutrition meetings were the best, I was able to meet others who experienced the same problems of weightloss as myself. Pamela was able to explain protion control, how to eat probably, not to chew fast, eat in moderation, and most importantly enjoy what you are eating...during this time Dr Andrei explained the pros & cons of my Lap Band procedure vs others like the gastric sleeve and the gastric bypass. I choose the lap band because it will help me to control my portion size and not to no longer eat bread (a serious weakness :)....the process prior to surgery wasn't bad at all, just the normal pre surgical routines, labs swallow test and all were decent. The day of surgery, the staff at the hospital were great & very professional. So far my aftercare has been great I average 3lbs weight loss a week I started at 326 before surgery & now I'm currently at 312 & I feel GREAT!!! I'm very greatful for Ms Minnie Dr Andrei's RN who recommended Dr Andrei... If I had to start all over again I wouldn't have any doubts of choosing Dr Andrei as my surgeon.... "
