Surgeon Testimonial

Gary Belzberg, M.D.
Prior to meeting Dr. Belzberg (of Kaiser So Cal) I had made up my mind that I wasn't going to get my VSG. Much to my surprise, he was familiar and has performed the RnY, VSG, DS & LapBand! So after that everything was wonderful. Dr. Belzberg explained all the pros and cons of each surgery from his opinion. He is very matter of fact. I enjoyed my time and look forward to my surgery 11/26/07.

Unsure and afraid...
on October 26, 2006 5:11 pm
So today I have been doing research on having the Lap-Band.  A girlfriend mentioned it and I started looking into it.  The more and more I read the more and more I believe this is the surgery for me.

On the other hand I feel as though I'm letting myself down by looking to surgery.  I know the surgery is just a tool and ultimately it is me that does all the work but still the same I said I would NEVER have weight loss surgery and today at 36, 314lbs I think it's my only option.

Time will tell.  I just contact my insurance Kaiser and they have a 24 week program that you have to complete before they refer you out to surgery.  This will give me enough time to gather knowledge and see what's the best choice for me.
