My oncologist highly recommended me to the NEW Program in Newport Beach, CA. I am pretty comfortable with Dr Tihonov doing the surgery although I found almost nothing on Google about him. Tri City Regional in Hawaiian Gardens sounds a little scary if the Yelp reviews are true...

Any sleevers out there with first-hand experience to share?

Hi I just had my surgery at tri city Hawaiian gardens through new program but my surgeon was Justin braverman. a very small hospital but they treat you very well and is very clean

Thanks for the inside scoop anonteensleeve! I feel much better about the facility. How are you doing?

I'm healing up fast I went back to school today and I had surgery on Thursday. I do have a little bit of discomfort though. It feels like I have a running cramp throughout the day..

The only thing about the hospital that my mom did not like was how some of the nurses are hard to understand, they don't pronounce their English extremely well, but it is manageable. The surgery room is a whole other story, but you are only awake in there for less than 5 mins lol..
