hI ! Everyone I am looking to see if anyone has been banded at UCSF Medical center by Andrew Posselt or any other surgeon there. I am just starting the process and don't know too much about the place.Is there any extra out of pocket fees from the doctors?How long does it take from the time you hand in all your paper work to the time of surgery?If anyone can contact me that would be greatly appreciated.

Hi ! This is Cori Gleffe. UCSF Medical Center is in Sanfransisco California.I have Blue Cross Insurance and that is the closest place that my insurance will let me go to.I live in sacramento California.The doctor there is Dr. Andrew Posselt. I haven't heard anything about him or the medical center.So I am looking for anyone who knows anything about UCSF.

Oh, that's very helpful. There's a good sized California group here so sit tight...I'm in North Carolina so, well, ya know. I have no clue.

I did, however, do a Search here on LBT for "Posselt" and nothing came up. So his name has not been mentioned on this site. Is he new to banding? You are very smart to research your doc well. I hope something comes up.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
