I'm going to be moving to Palo Alto in a couple of weeks and I fully intend to pursue getting a lap band as soon as I get there. Can anyone give some feedback on Northern CA lap band surgeons?

Thanks

Hello banjangirl

Welcome to LBT and to Palo Alto, I'm in Morgan Hill. The best Band Doc in the BayArea is Dr. McKeen, Good Samartian Hosp. San Jose.

Hey Debra: How you doing post banding? I love Dr. Billy. He is my doctor as well. He did not place my band but he did a port revision surgery for me and has been my follow up doc ever since. What a cutie??

Dennis is a sweetie as well. I go see Dennis on Monday the 28th.

Temecula Ca here... up for meeting other bandsters

Thanks Vera. I'm really glad to know there are a few more Bay Area people out there!

Hi.....i Was Banded On December 6, 2005 In T.j.....does It Get Easier Than This To See People Eating.....it Has Been A Bit Hard To Cook For Kids....before & After My Surgery...anyways.....i Live In La Verne , Would Love To Chat

I grew up in La Verne and my parents still live there... I am always looking for new friends...and if you went to Bonita between 83 - 87 we might know one another

Still in Van Nuys here.

After the holidays, anyone up for a get together for us Left Coast people?

IDEAS????

Penni how are you feeling. I am down for a get together...even willing to have it at me casa!

Sore still but really able to do more each day. THanks for asking.

Heck I am up to having it here at my place as well. Or we can find a mutual middle ground for us all.

dinner? Movie night - I have a HUGE TV and lots of DVD's? sleep over - I have three guests rooms and a huge living room floor with a couch, love seat, and a recliner so I can accommodate lots of people? Or all of the above.

Hey I love sleep overs I just bought new PJs. My home your home what ever... I am an awsome cook... anyone for veggie lasagna or enchilltas?

I am going to Dr. Aceves. I live in the central valley but travel to San Diego alot to see my bf. Perhaps, if there is a reunion or gathering I can get in on the mix cause I'd like to meet some people here in Ca with the band. There is one gal like me up here with the band, the rest are RNY's. :)

Hi -

I'm a new member from Santa Cruz. I plan on having the Lap Band surgery with Dr.Pamela Foster from Burlingame/ Mountain View. Are there any members from the Central Coast?
