Anthem Blue Cross PPO in Ca Surgeon???



Recommended Posts

Hi I am desperately trying to find a surgeon who is In-Network for an Anthem Blue Cross Ca PPO. I live in Ventura County but am willing to travel to the San Fernando Valley if necessary. I can not seem to find a contracted doctor. Blue Cross gave me a list of 30 some odd doctors and I have called 19 so far and have had no luck finding a doctor. Can anyone help me? Oh and Dr. Paya is not In-Network. :thumbup: I had to cancel my appointment. :)

Hey thanks! I actually attended one of his seminars a few months ago and spoke with their office last week. I have an appointment December 5th and am filling out a long packet that I have to turn in. Did you use him?

OH wow CONGRATS!!! that is SO cool! Good luck! Would you mind telling me your process? First I attended the seminar, then I just called and they sent me the info packet, and my first appt is Dec 5th. Can you give me an idea of what to expect at that appointment and what you did before and after? How many appoinments did have after that first visit and how long did you have to wait for the actual surgery? I have no idea what I am going to have to do.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
