Hi there, I am new to this forum, 1st post! :drool: I live in the Bay Area and I started my process at Kaiser Fremont in June. I went to my first orientation 2 weeks ago, I thought I was there for the lapband, but as the day went on the Dr. (Christine Chu) only talks about the Roux n Y bypass, and she was very negative about the Lapband. Next Step - I have my first 3 hour appt. July 22nd with Dr. Hahn, a Nutritionist and a Coordinator. I thought I was getting Dr. Chu, but they put with with Dr. Eric Hahn. The scheduler told me they may not do the lapband for me. :thumbup: Has anyone had Dr. Hahn do their surgery? Has anyone had Dr. Christine Chu? Has anyone ran in to this "road block" with Kaiser Fremont.... lapband vs. by-pass?
