Question:
I'm moving To Southern Ca and I need some Advice

I'm going to be in the Orange County area within two months and would love to know what Health insurance and which doctors are most WLS sympathetic. I haven't started the WLS process and would really appreciate advice from anyone in this marvelous group.    — Kaye B. (posted on July 6, 2000)

Aetna is also very good about approving surgery with a minimum of hassle. You just have to make sure your PCP and his medical group are WLS friendly. I had to change my PCP in order to get a referal to a surgeon.

My name is Cynthia and I am pre-op. However, I have heard very good things about Dr. La Port in Fountain Valley, CA. He has been doing Open RNY for about 10 years and has reportedly done over thousand procedures. You can call his office for more information.
