  1. I live in Bellflower, and I got it with Dr. David Oliak in Orange county www.oliakcenter.com, you can access his website on line, he is very well known and he and his staff are very professional, I got it through my insurance (HMO) so I don't know how they work with cash, but you should contact them and get some info, hopefully this helps. Good luck
  2. I have the wi fit and I also love it, for me the boxing and Hula give me the greatest workout, also love the step. If you want another good game is raving rabids II is so much fun
  3. I have pacificare and I did not pay anything out of pocket,
  4. I have a couple of jeans in sizes 22-24 and also a pair of capris and a pair of dress pants from lane bryant so let me know if you are interested.
  5. I feel great I have lost a total of 25 pounds, however i am beggining to feel extremelly hungry and I guess because I have healed I do not feel much restriction I get full much sooner than before however I am hungry all the time hopefully this will change once I have my first fill, I am supposed to have on 12-02.
  6. My PCP is also Dr. Doud and I was scheduled at Chapman, are you under prospect/gateway? make sure Chapman is still a hospital to use. I was first scheduled for 09-29-08 due to a booking error then it was changed to 10-01 according to the prospect/gateway staff, pacificare stop contracting with chapman at the end of August so they gave people that had scheduled procedures until 09-30-08 to complete it, since I was 10-01 my surgery was canceled 09-30-08 at 5:00 p.m. I was then re-scheduled for Orange Coast so just to be safe make sure Chapman is still an option. It took me about 5 months from the seminar to the surgery because DR. Oliak had a waiting list, I hope my input helps.
  7. I just had the surgery 10-24, I started the whole process in december 0f 2007, after I saw the dietician and psych I was approved right away, it took so long because the dr I chose had like a 4 month waiting list, but other than that it went fast, the only setback I had was since I scheduled my surgery like four months ahead, by the time my surgery was only a few weeks away pacificare canceled the contract with the hospital I was scheduled for so I have to wait like 3 more weeks for another hospital ssigment, do just make sure you keep intouch on these issues.
  8. I just had surgery with Dr. oliak 10-24-08, everything went great thnak God, I feel pretty good just the gas disconfort, Dr. Oliak and his staff were grerat, he uses to Hospitals, Chapman and Orange Coast, I had my surgery at Orange Coast due to insurance issues but I from speaking to previos pats of his they had better experiences at Chapman. Don't get me wrong Orange Coast is good but I just heard Chapman mught be better.
