I'll start

I had my surgery 12/31/08. I had a rough start (search and find my other posts), but all in all, I'm satisfied with Weber.

He has been in bariatrics for awhile at Kaiser, so he has the confidence you'd expect. I have to fly from the Big Isle to Oahu to see him.

What I like is that he let's you be in control with fills or no fills. He is liberal when it comes to eating solids after fills. This makes sense to me because only you know what you can handle. You need to feel the effects of band and what you are capable of.

He takes time to listen to your concerns then answers responsibly. He is supportive and doesn't criticize.

Hi Volcano lady, Finally I found someone who have Dr. Weber. I also have him. And I do love him. My surgery was on Aug.27, 2008. I'm doing great. I'm down so many sizes. I was 18w. 2x tops. Now regular size 12 pants, xl tops. Down to 1 medication from 3 for high blood pressure. Not diabetic I was surely border line. Dr. Latore said I was probably diabetic on a regular day. I still have a hard time with eating. Some days no problem. And some oh well you must know...Can't hold down rice and noodles. Let me know how you are doing.

I had LB surgery with Dr. Weber 12/13/06. Down from 404 lbs to 235. I have been at this weight for some time now. I see Dr. Weber next month for a fill. I can eat pretty much anything right now (truth be told, I am enjoying it!). Keep up the good work!
