I am in Santa Barbara, and looking for doctors, hopefully ones who will take my Blue Cross PPO. Has anyone used any of the following? Dr Milton Owens, Dr Jeremy Korman, Dr Kai Nishi, Dr Michael Feiz, or Dr Criangle? Appreciate any feedback or other suggestions.

HI - Dr. Criangle is in Northern California area. If you go onto the NoCal support group website I know several people on this site have used him. I understand he is very experienced but does not always have a warm fuzzy feeling - aka not a very good bedside manner.

I do not know of any of the other doctors. Suggest you find someone who has a great after support group for free. If you are looking for a surgeon, I highly recommend mine. The New Program has an office in Bevery Hills also.

Good luck in your search!

I actually decided on Dr. Braverman at the New Program and I see that you sent through the same company. What has your experience been with them?

Wow - he was not even on your list. I had my surgery with Dr. Quebbemann, his partner. You are going to be happy. If you ever want to meet up at a TNP support group, let me know. Couple of us on here have used TNP for surgery and I can send a private message with their screen names. One lady is going in next month for her sleeve with Dr. B, I think.

Feel free to contact me if you ever have questions. I love my sleeve!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
