Fill doctors in San Francisco Bay Area?



Recommended Posts

Anyone know of a doctor in the SF Bay Area who does fills? I had my surgery done by Dr. Alceves in Mexicali (it was a great experience, btw; I would send my mother to him) and while he does adjustments essentially for free, you first have to make your way to San Diego. I'd like to find someone closer to home. All of the obvious candidate doctors, such as those listed on the official Lap-Band and Realize Web sites, either don't do them at all for "oustiders", or else charge a big chunk of change. (One office quoted me $450 an adustment, or a year's worth for $2,000.) I'd love to know of alternatives here in Northern California. Thanks for any tips or leads anyone might provide.

      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?
