Hello Everyone,

I attended my orientation this past weekend (01/22/2011). I went to the Weight Loss Center in San Bernardino Ca. Everyone was very nice there and seemed to know the process of how things work with my insurance. I go for my sleep apnea test on 02/12/2011 and another testing on 02/19/2011. I have one big concern after finding out who my doctor will be. I was told that Dr. Atul Madan will be my surgeon because he is the only one who has the privileges at a Center of Excellence hospital (Marina del Rey) that my insurance requires for the procedure to be performed at. After doing some research I found out that someone has died last month in his care. I know that things like this can happen and it may be due to something not related to the Lap Band. I was hoping that I can get some input from other patients that has dealt with this weight loss center in San Bernardino or who has had this doctor.

Thanks!!

Amanda
