Hi , anybody have Dr. Braverman in OC?

Hi Lots of hope;

I had my surgery through this center, but used Dr. Quebbemann. Can name 3 people who have used Dr. Braverman. Send me a private message if you would like to discuss. (click on my user name in upper left corner) Best wishes on this journey!

Glad I choose the NEW Program!

I have surgery with Dr. Braverman on December 9th, how was your experience?

I had surgery on June 23rd 2011 with Dr. Braverman. He is awesome! You can message me too if you would like !

Hi iegal !!!

I am also scheduled for surgery with Dr. Braverman on Dec.9th. Band revision to sleeve.

Band surgery originally done by Dr. Quebbemann some years back. Great doctors,

hospital and recovery. Band in itself was horrible. I could never tolorate it. The only

weight lost from band was due to puking and not being able to eat anything. Very

hard decision for me to finally come to terms with doing the sleeve revision. After

10 months of comtemplating, I'm going forward. Scares the heck out of me.

I didn't do it at the new program but I did in OC n I live there. Hope u guys r great!

Can you guys contact me I'm looking at Dr. Quebbemann and I have an appointment on April 4, 2012 Thanks!

Yup...this was me. Had the band via the NEW program (Dr. Q) back in 2008. Have had all my followups over the years with Dr. B - who I adore...and am in the painful waiting period of *fingers crossed* to see if my insurance will cover the band to sleeve revision. At this point, if all goes as planned, I will start the 2 week pre op diet on 7/23 with my surgery date set for 8/6.

I hate to wish the summer away but I really want August to be here.
