Hi! I'm a sleeve hopeful and wondering if anyone has been to Valley Care in Pleasanton? I have an appointment there because that is who my insurance will cover. I have heard from my insurance that they do many procedures but wanted to hear from others what they thought.

Hi Missy

I am going through valley care a well. I am setting Dr Dat Nguyen, who is your doc?

I completed my nutrition visit, psych evaluation, barium test, blood test and xray.

I am currently taking the lifestyle module test and waiting for them to call me for surgery date, hopefully its soon.

I like the valley care program, Valerie is very nice ans informafive..

Let me know as you go.

Good luck
