I'm from Texas and had my surgery in Juarez, Mexico.
I'm from ukiah. Dr. Jossart. Is doing my surgery on June 30th. He has offices in novato an s.f. the hospital I will be at is cal pacific. He is seriously the best surgeons his staff is amazing and they get back to you asap and email back several times a day. Dr. Jossart is the inventor of the laporscopic way of doing the vgs. I feel safe having him perform the surgery. Although I'm still nervous LOL. I've heard good things about other surgeons on this site as well ...but after meeting Dr. Jossart I knew he was the one LOL.
I had my surgery done at Fremont Kaiser.
Im from Bakersfield and I had my surgery through Kaiser. Best choice I ever made. I did take the classes which were great because I didnt know what I was getting myself into and didnt know very much about it. So Im glad Kaiser make you take that class before surgery. I know its 12 weeks but you get educated alot about the different procedures they offer.
Kaiser sleevers: I've created a group for us!

Hi. I'm in the Sacramento area, and will get mine done through Sutter.
I know it's further north but I'm getting mine done at Bay Bariatrics in Coos Bay, Oregon...good people.
Hi, Modesto, central valley area here. I had my procedure done thru Kaiser at the Fresno facility with Dr. Boghossian.

No i'm in so cal but yes i had my procedure done through kaiser
I had my surgery at Suite B, Irvine.
Im having mine done by Dr. Nguyen, in San Jose. I called a place in Chico, and a place in Folsom, but they couldn't accept my insurance so I have to drive the three hours.
I'm having mine done through Valley Care Weight Loss Center in Pleasanton. They have been very good too me and have helped me out a great deal with the insurance, etc.
Getting mine done by Dr. Nguyen in Manteca (he also works with Valley Care in Pleasanton, though!). Love how streamlined everything is with Valley Care/Doctors Hospital Manteca!
Hi, I am from the Sacramento area and I am in the beginning stages. I had the intro orientation at Kaiser in Roseville. After I did that my PCP said that she referred me to surgery department but I don't know what happens after then? Has anyone gone through the surgery process at South Sac Kaiser?
Dee,
That group appears to be invite only
Hi I'm from Roseville. I'm a Kaiser member, I've pretty much completed all my tests I had to go through. I have my Chest X-ray this morning, attending a support group on the 17th. Then I believe they will schedule me my appt with Sara, then schedule my surgery. It seems like its taken forever...
North Valley Surgical Associates in Chico, CA My surgery is scheduled in Nov. I really like Dr. Erik Simchuk.
Hello, I am also looking for this information. Hopefully we will get some info :) I recently made the switch over from my PPO over to Kaiser as they cover this procedure.
I made my first appointment with my primary for next week. I live in the bay area. Have you started the process?
Excited and ready!
