Hi All, I am thinking about having a surgery to solve a lifelong issue with obesity. This forum is super helpful. There are a lot of surgeon/centers near me that do this surgery, but my doctors don't have any good recommendations and I can't make heads or tails over which ones are good or not based on websites and searches. Anyone have recommendations/cautionary tales in the LA or better yet Torrance, California area? So far I've reached out to the UCLA bariatric center, but they want a ton of information and for me to register in their surgery system before even having a consultation. Feels a bit invasive when I haven't even talked to anyone there. Would love to hear any thoughts or recommendations. Thank you so much!

Thanks so much to both of you, this is really helpful!
