chicogirl3 17 Posted April 10, 2015 Hi Everyone. Just starting my process. I live in Redding and getting the surgery in Pleasanton thru ValleyCare. This is going to stretch out to forever. Anyone else around here? Good luck, I'm in Chico. I went to northern valley surgical in chico. Dr. Simchuck was the best. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HappyValleyHappy 48 Posted April 10, 2015 I started in Chico with Dr. Simchuk but with all of the other expenses the $2500 cash up front just couldn't be justified for me. The program seemed amazing but I'm happy with the program in Pleasanton. I'm just starting the process and have many insurance hoops to jump thru. I'll be jumping for about 6 months worth of nutritional counseling and and the tests and all. But I'll get there eventually. I'm so stoked to have found this site. So much support and some wonderful stories. I'm feeling so positive and so ready for this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
samanthaftw 2 Posted June 11, 2015 (edited) I'm near Redding and I'm going with the team at UC Davis. I was going to go with Dr. Ludwig at North Valley Surgical in Chico, but they're a joke. Worst consultation ever. Edited July 25, 2015 by samanthaftw Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
