"I had first thought I was going to get the RNY and met with a surgeon in my town. The program at this bariatric center was not very robust. Then after some research (mainly learning that after 3 years the weight loss is the same for the band and the RNY) I changed over to the Lap Band. This procedure has never been done by the surgeons in my city so I found Dr. Johnell. It is a 2 hour drive for me and even though I have not yet had my surgery, I am very impressed with the program they offer. Very robust - focused on psychological and physiological aspects of this procedure. Lots of support groups and a very large team of nutritional professionals and nurse coordinators. I will update more when I have my surgery. rnrnAs far as the doctor himself, he is exactly what you want in a surgeon. Very informative. He wasn't dismissive with any of my questions. There was nothing salesman-ish about my consultation. He was on the serious side... but I'm not really interested in being entertained so this was not a negative. "
