    Would really like to hear back from anybody who has found a doctor in So Ca who is willing to work with patients who had the surgery in Mexico? I went to my GP yesterday and she was dead set against

I'm in Sac too. I had my surgery with Dr. Stephen Patching. He's a great surgeon.

I'm going to Tijuana, with Dr. Kelly. I'm so scared, but excited at the same time! I need to find a physician that is willing to work with patients from Mexico.

HI everyone!

I'm in Sunnyvale and was sleeved at Fremont Kaiser on 2/29/12.

Hey I'm new here, but I'm in Manteca and I'm going through Fremont Kaiser. My surgeon will be Sanjoy Dutta. I was hoping to get the doc who did our orientation, but he was booked out through June. I hear they are all fabulous. Does anyone have any experience with him or the other surgeons? I only have the consultation scheduled (already passed the psych appt) for the 29th.

Hi Solo,

Dr. Dutta was my doctor, and he was wonderful. I really liked the doctor who did the orientation too, he was so outgoing, Dr. Dutta is more quiet, but really nice. He's always been quick to answer my questions. (I email him with them). The nicest thing is that I totally lost my composure in the operating room and started crying and he was so kind.

Also check out his background, ivy leauge schools and all that. I don't regret him at all!

Perhaps we'll cross in the office some day. ;)
