I was sleeved by Dr. Casillas at west la kaiser on June 12th, 2012. He was great. He is very easy to approach with any questions or concerns that you might have. He always has your best interest at heart. When I started the kaiser option program my weight was 264, at surgery it was 243. Today I am 207. I am very excited about my new way of life. There was little to no pain for me after surgery. There was no drains. I did have a $300 deductible for the surgery and hospital stay. All my nurses were very attentive to my needs if there was any ( more my husbands accommodations. Lol!) I am very happy with the choice that I made going with Dr. Casillas.
