New**looking For Southern Calif Dr.

[LuvMyKd 0]

Hi... My name is Lisa and I am just starting to research the lap band. I have been overweight/obese all of my life and fighting it everyday. My two biggest fears of the banding have been 1) am I "cheating" at getting healthy? and 2)what if it doesn't work for me, then what?

I have really enjoyed reading the posts and it has given me a sort of peace. I will be looking for a Dr. in the Southern California area if anyone has good referrals. Thanks for being here.

Not sure what area you are in southern cali but Dr. Ninh Nguyen at UCI. He has alota people working under him, so the test and stuff are done fast.

I'm with Blue Cross of CA PPO and I got my approval in less then a week.

Good Luck.
