Ann, your choices for a decent surgeons are Riverside, Orange County and Beverly Hills.

I went to Cedars-Sinai and had the best care I've ever had in my life. The drive is horrendous

and it requires eight to ten trips. I have a ranch, not too far from you and I did a lot of research

before deciding, my doctor's recommendation made up my mind. I don't have any idea what

Tricare might do for you, but please find the best surgeon and hospital you can. Not all weight

loss facilities are equal so choose wisely. I know I sound preachy, but I hate to see young

people get less than the best care possible. If I can be of any possible help, feel free to PM

me, and the very best of luck to you.

Dr. James Nazarian did my lap band. His main office is located in Beverly Hills but he also sees patients at San Dimas Surgical Center on Sundays.
