Dr Billy Ventura California



Recommended Posts

I saw Dr. Billy for the first time. What a great doctor! He answered so many questioned and gave me so many good tips. I was going to go down to TJ to see Dr Lopez but when I found out an upper GI costs as much down there as it does here. (I am without insurance of any kind) I would be a fool to ever go back to TJ.

Also, TJ for a single blonde girl is never the safest palce. I am soooo happy to be a Dr Billy patient. I will never go to TJ again!!!!

Don't you just LOVE him. His whole staff is wonderful and so supportive. I go see him on the 18th. He has been my saviour since all my complications and ultimate removal of the band this past December. We are weighing my options and hopefully I will have a decision made soon.

Nice to see you posting again, Christine. Maybe some time soon we can hook up again. That was fun eating at Mimi's. Maybe next time we could meet at California Kitchen. YUM YUM!!

HUGS!! My appt on the 18th is at 10am. Any chance of hooking up then? Email me at penni@pennimerrick.com if there is a chance.

Hi Penni! Everyone was great. My band may have slipped but the funny thing is that now that I have Dr Billy on my side, I am not scared. I can't live without my band and he totally "gets" that.

I will see if I can get out of work to meet you. I enjoyed your company also.

I find out Friday if I slipped. Cross your fingers.

I just talked to him for the first time yesterday. What a great guy. I'm in Sacramento, and I will be visiting him tomorrow in Ventura. I can't drink any liquid... my doc in Mexico is too aggressive with fills and I feel like I'm going to die!

From your messages above...I assume this dr will assist patients that have been banded in Mexico...I have been going to Mexico for fills, but the time it takes is an all day process.

Yes! He will see pts from Mexico. In fact, is very familiar with a lot of the doctors down there, and friends with some. I saw his nurse on Monday and they emptied me out completely. I see Dr. Billy on Saturday (tomorrow) to look at xrays and a possible fill if everything looks okay. AND HE'S NOT A RIP OFF! I'm able to get my xrays from anywhere and bring them to him. Med7 is doing them today for $133.00. I had Dr. Machado quote me $1500. Bullshit!

Do your shopping!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
