Journey Lite

Has anyone heard of a group called Journey Lite? Lapbands are all they do.

I would be using the group out of Tampa and the physician is Dr. Renke. Any thoughts are welcomed!

I know Journey Lite is like the "middle man" if you will. They work w/ a surgeon and surgical center to do a special price for lap-bands. I have never heard anything bad about Journey lite themselves.

Good Luck in your search!

Good evening and I hope this finds you well. I had my procedure at JourneyLite (Thousand Oaks) on March 27th, 2007. I am thankful every day for the decision to have the Lap-Band procedure and that I had the procedure done there. I am the Director for the facility in Thousand Oaks, but more importantly I am a patient who has probably walked a similar path. The one thing I can tell you is that we strive for excellence in our field and I appreciate the fact that I have a support network not only in Thousand Oaks but any of the facilities. Making the decision to have the lap-band is an important one and you have to feel comfortable with not only the facility, the surgeon but also the support people - it truly is vital to your overall success.:smile: They are there to answer your questions and concerns, so let them know what they are and if you have other questions please don't hesitate to drop me a note! I wish you all the best and will be rooting for you from the "lighter" side of life.

Warm wishes,

Lora

I'm from the bay area and before JL, at the time I was doing my Quest for insurance coverage (fat chance) JL was not yet open. Since then, the facility does function as a "middle man" good choice of words, for the doctors housing meetings and support. I have not heard anything negative. They are still new. In the bay area that is the best option. I wish you well. I do not regret having the band done one single day of my life post the surgery. Best wishes to you.
