My surgeon is Dr. Sanjoy Dutta, Kaiser in Fremont, California. He's awesome!! I knew I loved him when he had the same yuck factor I do about drinking milk.

My Surgeon was Dr. Armando Joya, at Amerimed Hospital in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. He was great and the standard of care I recieved from the hospital and staff was beyond anything in the US. He, the other surgeons,and the nutrionist all speak English. I would highly recommend him. I had around the clock nurses (usually 2). My stay was 3 days and 2 nights. My cost without the hotel stay was $6,500.00

Sleeved on 8/4 with Dr Spencer Holover @ Mercy Medical in Long Island NY.. The staff & facility at Mercy was amazing & I absolutely ADORE Dr Holover.. this was the best decision of my life and I am only sorry i did not do it sooner.

My surgeon is Dr. Nowzaradan and I am having my surgery at University General Hosptial. My doctor was featured on TLC/ Discovery, as he performed weight loss surgery on the Half Ton Teen. I really like him and his staff is very caring! He is a revision specialist, so that was very important to me since I have lapband complications. I will let you know more after my

revision.

OMG! I watch him on tv. Cool!
