Hello everyone,

I am attending a seminar of Dr. Nease in Huntington, WV soon. I am wondering if anyone has attended his seminar or has been banded by him? I would love to hear from you.

I attended Dr. Nease's seminar and am very glad I did. He and his staff are wonderful and I feel more prepared to start this process and confident that he is the surgeon of choice for me.

Hello!! I have a consult with Dr. Nease on 6/17. How are things going for you??

Dr. Nease was my Dr. I was banded on 5/12/08. I liked him and his staff very much from the get-go. I felt he was very personable and he treated me with respect - and that means so much! My one week follow-up (post-op) was not great, but there was some confusion about my appointment date...not the fault of Dr. Nease.

On the day of surgery, I actually saw him very little - just a few moments, but just knowing he was going to be there when I was under made me feel calmer...I just felt secure in his ability.

I went home the same day...I actually stayed in a hotel overnight because I didn't feel up to a four hour drive. It all happened very fast, but it was ok, I have done ok, and the surgery went fine.

Best of luck, and if I can help or answer any questions about the experience I had at Cabell Huntington, just let me know. This is all new to me, but I will offer any support I can.

Thanks. I am sure that I will have many questions in the weeks ahead. Everyone this board seems very supportive.
