I would like to know if anyone has had their sugery performed by Dr. Ninh Nguyen in Irvine, california. Please let me know what you liked AND did not like and if you have had any complications. I really appreciate your response.:help:

Had him for vsg. Good surgery but no follow up n impossible to get nurse or assistance post surgery for follow up.

I too am in So Cal & my docs are the BEST...surgery & follow up, even 2-1/2 years later is GREAT!! I know you were looking for advice several months ago, but if you're still looking for a good doc, West Medical, Dr. Salimitari & Dr. Shabatian....well I can't say enough good things about them! We banders do work hard to change our lives & habits & literally exercise our butts off BUT I notice the patients that are followed closer by their docs have more success vs patients that have a hard time getting in to see their docs & can't ever get ahold of anyone at the office to talk to when they have questions or problems. I have NEVER had a problem getting ahold of one of my doctors or a nurse & have NEVER had a great delay in making an appointment to see them when needed.

Good luck with your journey!
