I was wondering if any of you have a good recommendation for a Lap Band surgeon in Southern California?

Also pricing information for cash pay??

I am ready to have the procedure now - just looking for a good place with a reasonable price.

My husband and I paid cash $16,500 each with Dr, Horgan at UCSD my husband was banded in October and I was banded in November. The entire staff is awesome, we loved them and highly recomend them.

Who you choose should be, in part, influenced by where you live and/or work. Plan to see your doctor 9 - 12 times during the first year. Focus on a great surgeon, who has done a lot of bands and has a practice that emphasizes aftercare. My surgeon is Dr. Billy (Ventura County). I can't say enough wonderful things about him and his practice. I'm 4 years out, and have been maintaining my goal weight for 2 years. Dr. Billy has been my head coach on this "Banded Living" journey. If you are lucky enough to live near Dr. Billy, I would highly recommend you go see him. I was cash pay; his prices are competitive and he offers cash programs that include your follow-up which is critical.

Best of luck. Congratulations on your decision.

Gloria

      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.
