Hello everyone from Marina del Rey. I was sleeved on February 4, 2013.

I'm in Culver City. I had my sleeve at Cedars Sinai April 8th. They were great. I ended up staying 2 nights. The nurses were great and the process was really efficient. Good Luck at Cedars!

Well lets see I had Lapland nov 6 2009 by Dr. Khallili then had my port revised by Dr. Cunneen 6 months later then I was sleeved by Dr. Burch on Nov 5th 2012

Hi soocalchic - I just had my sleeve surgery a few weeks ago by Dr. Khalili. I'm just curious why you had your original surgery with him but then didn't use him for your follow-up surgeries. If it's too personal don't worry about answering. I guess it's too late for me to change at this point though.

So what is everyone doing for exercise? I've been totally unmotivated and haven't for a while now. But need to get back in the routine.

Hi there! Would love to hear more about Dr. Ramy Awad. I commute out to Palm Desert every day for work and exploring different options. TIA!

Dr. Awad was my surgeon. I was sleeved on 12/19/2012 and am down 111 lbs. so far. I think he and his staff are really great. His office manager is one of his sucessful cases -- she's not only a great walking billboard, she's also a really wonderful and helpful lady. I have nothing but the highest regard for Dr. Awad and his whole team.

in fact, I drove about five hours to have him be my surgeon after I saw him in a documentary about weight (and researched him).

I agree with you Bob!!

His entire staff are so upbeat and knowledgeable. Love the support groups too. I try to go twice a month!! Dr Awad pays for exercise classes for his patients twice a week, too. He really saved my life, both literally and figuritively.
