So, it looks as if I am going to most likely be self-paying for the lap band procedure and I am wondering if anyone has ever been to or heard of B.H. Physicians...

I live in the Los Angeles area and am looking for some suggestions on doctors, hospitals, etc. Any help would be great!

Hi, I used Dr Carson Liu in Westwood. My surgery was done in Beverly Hills. I can not say enough good things about him. I only had discomfort after the surgery. Liquid Tylenol was all I used for 2 days. I was able to sleep on my side after 2 days too! I was in the surgery center at 7:30 AM and on my way home by 1 PM. You can google him.

Hi di1138, did your insurance cover the procedure or were you a self-pay? I am trying to weight (no pun intended) all my options becuase I don't know if I will qualify for insurance coverage and B.H. Physicians is like 16k. Let me know...thanks!

I actually went through California Bariatrics and they sent me to Dr. Liu. My insurance paid for it and CA Bariatrics did all the leg work. If you have questions you can call them at 562 924 3301 and ask for Brandon. He or possibly Michele can answer your questions. Tell them Diane from Apple Valley suggested you call. Michelle was great working things out with the insurance company. (they do have an 800 # but I miss placed it) Good Luck!

Let me know how you make out.
