I'm not quite a year out, and Ive been working out a ton, but ive lost like 85 pounds and I want rid of this gut/apron thing lol.

Obviously there are a ton of plastic surgeons in L.A., but I was wondering if anyone had any personal recommendations for doctors that are good at consulting lap band patients, know how to accommodate for port placement, and are friendly about working with insurance companies.

Any help is appreciated!!

thanks,

Brendan

I just had a consultation with Dr Suzanne Trott in Beverly Hills - Linden Dr off of Little Santa Monica & Whilshire..

I went for my arms - My Lapband Doc recommended her as they went to school together and she board certifited and does alot of surgeries on weight loss patients.

I really liked her - and most likely will be scheduling surgery in May - gotta find the time & $$$ :tt1:

I don't have her card with me - but just google her name - she has a website..

Good Luck !!!

Dr J. Timothy Katzen is right there also off of Linden and Wilshire. He also specializes in weight loss patients. He too has a website and you can google it.

Good Luck

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
