Anyone near Sacramento?

Thanks so much! How can I find out more about this? Go to the hospital website?

Hi NorCal peeps!

Good luck, I'm in Chico. I went to northern valley surgical in chico. Dr. Simchuck was the best.

I started in Chico with Dr. Simchuk but with all of the other expenses the $2500 cash up front just couldn't be justified for me.

The program seemed amazing but I'm happy with the program in Pleasanton.

I'm just starting the process and have many insurance hoops to jump thru. I'll be jumping for about 6 months worth of nutritional counseling and and the tests and all.

But I'll get there eventually.

I'm so stoked to have found this site. So much support and some wonderful stories.

I'm feeling so positive and so ready for this.

I'm near Redding and I'm going with the team at UC Davis. I was going to go with Dr. Ludwig at North Valley Surgical in Chico, but they're a joke. Worst consultation ever.
