Ventura County anyone? Dr. Billy?

Hi my name is Kelly and I am 26. I live in Simi Valley and will be getting banded by Dr. Billy next month. Anyone else? Anyone live near me?

Hi Kelly. You might have a little better luck in finding somebody near if you look under the "local lapband support group" section. It's broken down by state, and then smaller groups under each state. Good luck with the authorization.....that's the worst!!

Thanks I am dying with anticipation. I have been trying since last April and finally switched to a PPO in November. Since then its been smooth sailing so I hope it gets approved!!!!!

Hi Tracey,

I was banded Feb of 2008. It is an amazing experience. I highly recommend Dr. Billy. He doesn't band you and then leave you. They have so much support there. I am not the best at using the support anymore but I know its there now. His phone number is 676-9100. He also has an office in TO so you dont have to drive out to Ventura, although I like the office out there cuz the scale measures your whole body and its fun to see different parts shrink. Like now my legs are in the "normal zone" :). Best of luck to you. I'd like to know what you do.
