I'm getting the lap band. She is Sacramento's top bariatric surgeon; Dr. Laura Machado. She just thinks it's not the wise choice. I dunno.

Well regardless of what you decide. Good luck and still feel free to post on here. I would be interested in hearing how your process and recovery goes. We can compare.

Most definitely!!! Good luck!

I was sleeved by Dr. Eslami in Feb. at Methodist. They have one of the best WLS programs in Sac. Very comprehensive pre and post op care. I regularly attend his support group and would highly recommend you do the same. They meet every 1st Sat and 3rd Thurs so find a time that works for you. If you have any specific questions let me know.

Omgosh! I'm going to Dr. Eslami too!! I have not met him yet. Have you? How is he? Doesn't he also have an office in Folsom? I kinds wanna go to Folsom cause it's like 45 min closer..

Yes, he also has an office in Folsom.

Mija, he has an office in Folsom too? Does he do surgery a in Folsom or only at Methodist? What about appointments?

I meant to address you erp, not mija.. Jeeze still learning the site.. So does he just do surgeries and appointments at Methodist? Or does he do them in Folsom too?

He does appts at both offices but I believe surgery is only at Methodist Hospital.
