you might want to call the Rancho Specialty Hospital in Rancho cucamonga. I know there are several doctors there who do it. I go to meetings there and all the patients there have been banded at that hospital. I am having my surgery in LA at Cedar Sinai, by Dr. Quilici. I hope this helps.

I am in Corona as well. Is your insurance covering your surgery. Mine did and they referred me to Dr. Krahn in Riverside. He also has offices in Rancho Cucamonga and San Bernardino. There is also Dr. Coon in Riverside. Dr. Krahn did my surgery at Parkview Hospital. He has been great so far and I don't have any complaints. His nurse is very nice but I get the impression she has never been heavy so there are some things she just doesn't get, but I can work with that.

I had my surgery done at Rancho Hospital in Rancho Cucamonga by Dr. Owens. I love him and the staff and the support group is the best! The leader, Stevie is a post op patient and the most motivating group I've been to. The group helps so much after surgery. Before surgery Dr. Owens' website gave me a lot of information and he gives seminars too at the hospital.

Good luck! Raye

If insurance will be paying for your Lap Band, see who's on your plan. Saint Bernardine Medical Center in San Bernardino is a Center of Excellence, which is what my insurance (Aetna) requires. Dr. Krahn is very skilled with the band. I'm seeing him, but for gastric bypass.

I just scheduled my first appointment with Dr. David Davtyan in Rancho Cucamonga. I am super excited. His staff was very friendly. I am hoping all goes well and I am hopefully banded soon!!!!! Anyone seen Dr. Davtyan?
