Beverly Hills Physicians



Recommended Posts

So, it looks as if I am going to most likely be self-paying for the lap band procedure and I am wondering if anyone has ever been to or heard of B.H. Physicians...

I live in the Los Angeles area and am looking for some suggestions on doctors, hospitals, etc. Any help would be great!

Hi, I used Dr Carson Liu in Westwood. My surgery was done in Beverly Hills. I can not say enough good things about him. I only had discomfort after the surgery. liquid Tylenol was all I used for 2 days. I was able to sleep on my side after 2 days too! I was in the surgery center at 7:30 AM and on my way home by 1 PM. You can google him.

Hi di1138, did your insurance cover the procedure or were you a self-pay? I am trying to weight (no pun intended) all my options becuase I don't know if I will qualify for insurance coverage and B.H. Physicians is like 16k. Let me know...thanks!

I actually went through California Bariatrics and they sent me to Dr. Liu. My insurance paid for it and CA Bariatrics did all the leg work. If you have questions you can call them at 562 924 3301 and ask for Brandon. He or possibly Michele can answer your questions. Tell them Diane from Apple Valley suggested you call. Michelle was great working things out with the insurance company. (they do have an 800 # but I miss placed it) Good Luck!

Let me know how you make out.

      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.

      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!
