Hi yes I am from So. Cal. I had my surgery done by Dr. Chin Kaiser. He currently works out of the Redlands office. He was a great surgeon. Answered all my questions, In May they will be opening up the Fontana Bari section in the new hospital. He will be doing his surgeries there. He was fantastic did a great job!

Did u get to pick your own surgeon or do they send you to a specific one?

They sent me to him. But when the case worker calls you I am sure you could ask for a specific Dr. I just went with who was closest to where I live.

I had my surgery performed by Dr. Fedorka...he was wonderful . Hes also out of the Redlands/ Fontana location

I am scheduled to meet with Dr. Fedorka and they just called me and told me who i had the appoinment with... I didn't choose. I guess it all depends on who has open surgery dates when you are ready. I know Chin & Fedorka work hand in hand together though. I have heard so many great things about Fedorka so i am happy.

Hey T, I didn't know they were opening in May, maybe i might be having it done in Fontana then....alot closer to home.

I had mine done out of Kaiser Riverside. They refer you to a surgery center that contracts with Kaiser. I went thru Suh Bariatric. I have read that Dr. Suh is ranked top 5 bariatric surgeons in the country. He's been doing these surgeries for 17 years. He is an amazing doctor and his staff is wonderful. He has two office locations, one in Corona and one in Murrieta. Surgery is done at Southwest Hospital in Wildomar, but hear he will be doing them soon, as well, at the new Loma Linda Hospital. Highly recommended!!

Fedorka is great. Very straight forward...not a man of many words. My surgery and recovery went flawlessly. I'm 6 months out down 110. His staff is wonderful and my follow ups have been very good. You are definitely in good hands

Wow! 110lbs in 6 months? What does your diet and excersise regimen consist of? That is definitely motivating. Thanks.

Not to make it sound so simple...but I've been following the guidelines they gave in the options program to a t. I lost 20 pre op while going through options. I work out 5 days a week. I'm doing my first 5k next friday. The most important thing for me is to log EVERYTHING and get in my protein requirements. If you follow what you learned ...you'll be fine. Just remember its a total lifestyle change.

You might..... It is always nicer when it's close to home! Hope that works out for you!

I had mine done with Dr Casillas and Dr Zelata Getty at Kaiser West LA.. Great experience!! Loved both my surgeons!

Congratulations on your success! Awesome job!

Yay!! I found some locals! I am in my 4th week in options in Fontana (2nd time around, I graduated in 9/2011 but decided not to go through with the surgery and now I'm back, go figure). They are still saying that we are going to be with either Fedorka or Chin but they are still out of St bernardines for now. Any regrets for anyone?? I am excited and terrified!

I'm 3 months out this week I'm down 60 lbs I had dr.fedorka who was great! I've had no complications the staff is on top of things! I think dr chin and fedorka work together in Redlands I had my surgery at st. Bernadine's it was a pleasant stay good luck a word of advice! Pay attention in those options classes sometimes I wish I could redo some!
