Happy New Year!

Just wishing everyone a safe, happy, and healthy New Year!  New Year's resolutions start tomorrow right?!

Happy Holidays!

Just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Holiday Season and best wishes for the new year!  It's been an exciting week, with 5 more patients getting their Lap-Band™ surgery done.  The next group of band operations will be in 2011 (I need a break sometime!).  Congratulations to those of you who continue to use the Lap-Band™ system to achieve lasting weight loss during the challenging holiday season!

It's been a productive year!

Well, the end of 2010 is approaching and it's been a productive and rewarding year.  My team surpassed our 500th Lap-Band operation, and we started up our latest venture, ScuLpt Cosmetic Surgery (www.sculptcosmeticsurgery.com).  Not only are we able to help our patients achieve lasting weight loss via bariatric surgery (weight loss surgery), but we can help patients who don't qualify for weight loss surgery improve their body image with minimally invasive Smartlipo laser assisted liposuction right in the office under local anesthetic.  It's nice to be able to help people change their lives for the better and I look forward to another exciting year in 2011.  I also look forward to putting up more and more before and after photos on the ScuLpt Cosmetic Surgery web site, and the facebook pages for both my general surgery practice, and cosmetic practice.  It's exciting to see our community of patients grow (while shrinking in size!).
