How do you find a doctor?

I live in Stockton, California and would like to know how can I go about finding a doctor that can do the Lapband surgery. Does anyone know?

    I can recommend an excellent surgeon in Ventrua, CA.

    His name is Helmuth Billy, MD

    He is wonderful and very caring.

    Hi - my name is Kim and would echo Penni's sentiment on Dr. Billy. I was banded 7 days ago by Dr. Billy through his Tahoe office. I think he is extremely knowledgeable and has a great reputation. It would have been closer for me to go to someone in Sacramento, but I felt so comfortable with him that to travel a teensy bit farther was a small sacrifice. Good luck!

    If you have insurance, you can see which ones they cover too.
