"I always thought about having surgery for my obesity, but never made an effort to take that step until one of my close friends got the Lap Band done. For the first six month I watch how she progress and how her weight went down. Because of her successful progress, I decided to take that step and go for it. She then referd me to Dr. Andrei, which I believe is the best surgeon to work with. I was a bit scared at first because of the risk I read online about the surgery, but he referred to me that I was in good hands. He is very patient and he works with his patients real well. I would recommend him to many people that are thinking about doing the Lap Band or the Gastric Bypass surgery. It has been one month now since I had the Lap Band surgery and I couldn't be more happier and the aftercare program he structured are perfect. His office staff are so helpful and work with you in any situation that has to do with your weight and the surgery. Overall Dr. Andrei and his team are great people and if I had a chance to do go through this process again, I would do it without any hesitation."
