TRANSFORMING LIVES

The LAP-BAND System is an effective treatment for morbid obesity and can help you achieve lasting results by limiting food intake, reducing appetite and slowing digestion. But the pounds do not come off by themselves. It is important to understand that you play an active role in the weight-loss process and ultimate success of the procedure, LAP-BAND System patients should expect gradual weight loss, approximately 1-2 pounds per week on average over the first year. Your individual excess weight-loss results may vary.

ACTUAL PATIENT TESTIMONIALS - Dr. David Davtyan
	07/20/05 Wedding Lady A. Burbank, CA	I liked Dr. Davtyan right off the bat. He answered all of my questions and concerns, never making me feel as though he was rushing me out. He listens to my fears, hopes and has given me some sage advice. He's a lap band patient himself, so I felt most comfortable knowing that he would know what I was experiencing - the good, bad and the ugly! The staff in his office is WONDERFUL and always willing to listen to me bitch about the same topics over and over again. He is very supportive of my aftercare and will continue to monitor my progress. It's important to keep follow-up appointments so that he can prevent serious things from happening. I'm not sure if he has a support group, but I hope that he does. I could sure use a good kick in the fanny, because I'm SO DOWN now. I would rate him a 10 on the 1-10 scale. He's been perfect!

I can say he doesn't hold your hand like your a baby...eventhough many people,(like myself)need it. He is the most experienced and knowledgable doctor I came in contact with. One of the main reasons I chose him was becuase I knew had the surgery done years ago, before he began to perform the procedure himself. His staff is great. They are always friendly and on top of things. One of his assistance had the lap-band done as well. I would HIGHLY recomend him becuase with him you know and feel that you are in good hands.
