Finally got approved after a year and my surgeon is flaking. I called to make an appointment two weeks ago and they STILL haven't gotten back to me. I called a week later and the gal said she was new and was off most of the previous week. I asked if the doctor was going to be too busy to do my surgery and she said she would ask her and get back to me. That was a week ago. I don't think this is a good sign.

So now I have to find a new surgeon. Ugh! I have to see who Cigna has on their list. It was hard enough to find this one as they have so few in So. Cal.

Dr. David Oliak did my surgery. He's in Brea and Orange. I loved him. He has cutting edge (no pun intended) techniques and works directly with Lap Band on teaching THEM procedures so that ports don't flip and bands don't slip. He has a complete and total package with a Nut., 2 PAs and a behavioral psychologist that is an expert on weight loss. He offers support groups 8 times a month. He was even on The View. Check out his website. You can google him. Best wishes!!!

Dr. Oliak also did mine and it went very well. Good team.
