Dr. Jay Jackson - Dr. Jackson

I met Dr. Jackson thru the Medical weight-loss centers. Very nice easy going person. He explained everything to me in great detail, listened and answered all my questions. The surgeries he performed on me were, gallbladder removal, and putting "the lap band" on me. Everything went very smoothly. I would highly recommend Dr. Jackson.

Hi Richard5315! I'll be meeting with a Dr. Jackson on Sunday 06.14.09 at 9:00am for my consultation. I've been thinking about the lapband and reading up on all the Success stories and I hope to be as successful as they all were. I do hope it'll be the same Dr. Jackson that you so highly recommend.

Richard... since Dr. Jackson is no longer with Weight Loss Centers, which doctor are you seeing now for your fills?

I get my fills with Dr. Powell at the office in Santa ana.

How do you like Dr. Powell? I went to him for my first fill and after almost 20 minutes of him poking and prodding me, he told me my port was flipped and I would have to have another surgery to fix it. I was devistated!! After almost 2 weeks of waiting for the insurance to approve the "port revision" surgery I got a call from one of the girls in the Beverly Hills office who told me that Dr. Tashjian was confident that he would be able to do my fill. I made the appt with Dr. T thinking "What do I have to lose". Dr. T found my port on the first try!! No numbing needed even!!

I go to the Beverly Hills office. One fill was done by Dr. Tashjian who I liked alot ! Last time I went in, I saw Dr. Samouha, I like him alot, we talked alot about how everything is going. He was very informative, Offered diet tips, listened and approved and disapproved of things I'm doing. I'm going to stick with Dr. Samouha. I hope this helps.

I had my first successful fill with Dr. T. My second fill might have been with Dr. Samouha (I know his last name started with an S). I guess my port is tilted. Dr. Powell in Long Beach tried to give me a fill and after 20 minutes of sticking me with a needle (an not numbing me) he told me my port was flipped completely over and that I needed another surgery to fix it. I later went to Dr. T in Bevery Hills (about 2 weeks later) and he got it on the first try and told me there was nothing wrong with my port. I went back 2 weeks after that and was seen by yet another doctor (Maybe Dr. Samouha) who had some trouble with my port and told me my port was tilted. After about 10 minutes of trying, he finally got it (thank God he numbed me). I am going to try and stick with Dr. T., but he is not at the Bevery Hills office that much. My next fill appt is on Saturday 9/12/09 with Dr. T. If for some reason he is not available I will see the other doctor since he is now familiar with the position of my port.

Hi Richard, Just wondering what kind of insurance you have, because mine is garbage when it comes to lap band.
