Sorry, I see a doctor in Roanoke also but I have never heard of your doctor. My doctor is Dr. Lucktong I highly recommend him if this other doctor is not to your liking.

I had my consultation with Dr. Quioco and he only does the bypass. I have been told by several different doctors that I should get the bypass vs. the Lap Band b/c I need to loose so much weight. Also mentioned that the Lap Band is temp. and the bypass is permanant and since I've been overweight my entire life that I need something permanant. Anyone been told that? :confused2:

I went with Dr. Bruce Long in Roanoke, VA. My surgery was on 3/24/08. I like him. He will talk to you about Lap Band and Gastric Bypass. I just preferred Lap Band. He is new to Lap Band surgery. I was numbe 10 or 12 I think, but he has done gastric bypass for severl years and has been a successful surgeon for quite a while.
