"I had surgery on 1/11/11 and as of 3/8/11 I've lost about 35 pounds!
I have been VERY happy with all of my interactions with Dr Simpson and his office staff. They made the 3 month pre-surgery program, insurance approval, surgery, and after-care SO EASY!! Dr Simpson and his staff are very kind and feel more like family or friends rather than a stuffy doctors office.
I had quite a bit of swelling and bloating after surgery which made me incredibly uncomfortable and a little freaked out for the first week or two post-op. I emailed Dr Simpson on a Sunday afternoon to inquire about this and he immediately called me back to talk to me directly. Dr Simpson even then drove to his closed office on a Sunday evening to meet me and do a slight "unfill" so that I could be more comfortable while I was healing during the next few weeks!!! I've NEVER met any other doctor that would take time out of his Sunday to call or see a patient on such short notice!! He genuinely cared enough to see me and make sure nothing was wrong (or at least to help calm my nerves).
I initially chose Dr Simpson because of his emphasis on after-care and support. He and his staff provide post-op nutrition classes and monthly support groups that are very helpfull.
I would recommend Dr Simpson and his office staff to ANYONE thinking ot LapBand surgery, I am extremely happy that I chose them. "
