Hello all! I am hoping someone out there, knows of a surgeon in Orange County CA that is in network with United Healthcare. I"ll even take any info for surgeons in LA. I have done all my pre-op tests with 1-800-Get-thin doctors in West Hills / Beverly Hills. And just found out from my insurance that they are not in network. Any info would be appreciated! Im checking out the NEW Program as well. But just want to keep my options open just in case! THANK YOU

I was just banded on 4/20, I live in Sherman Oaks and the only Dr. contracted with my insurance (Healthnet) was in Orange. Dr. Milton Owens. He is on Chapman right next to Chapman Medical Center. I think he was a good surgeon, just not real happy with his bedside manner!!! But today is day 9 and I really feel great!! Good Luck!!

Dr. Fobi is my surgeon....He also did Roseanne Bar and lots of celeberties...he is in Long Beach google for certain results are great professionalism the best of the best seriously they take lots of insurances....good luck and best wishes

Dr. Salimitari is my surgeon. He is AWESOME. He and his partner work all throughout southern california. I was actually refered to Dr. Sal after my insurance wouldn't cover through teh 1-800 people. Here's their website http://www.lapbandvip.com/. There's a thread on LBT about him actually. If you do a search on Dr. Salimitari in the forums, it should pop up, and you can read somemore reviews on him.

thanks everyone
