Anyone know of any doctor's for lapband in San Diego? What about the UCSD program with Dr. Horgan?

I went to Dr. Martinez at the Gastric Banding Center.

I was just banded a few days ago by Dr. Sunil Bhoyrul at Alvarado. I believe he also works out of Scripps La Jolla. Dr B was great; his staff is also excellent. The OR staff and nurses at the hospital could not have been any sweeter or more attentive.

I also went to a seminar with Dr. Julie Ellner out of Alvarado, whom I also liked very much - but she didn't take my insurance.

Hello Kartman,

I am considering using the Gastric Banding Ctr. How are you doing? Would you recommend this facility?

Thanks

They were really good and I am really impressed with my results. My only complaint is that they don’t regularly do fills under fluoroscope. They were very quick to schedule once I decided (I was self pay so no insurance hurdles), great bedside manner the day of, I was out like a light for the surgery and in pretty good shape right after. Follow up has been fine. Support meetings are pretty light – only 5-8 people show up. If you are considering Mexico, I would take a look at Dr. Ortiz, he did my sister and I can’t say enough good things about him.
