Hello - Yes I am working w/Dr. Estakhri. My insurance requires a 6-month pre-op program and I am just finishing up. I was impressed w/the overall approach of ValleyCare and how patient Dr. Estakhri was with all my questions.
Good Luck!

Do you have products that you use and recommend to your friends, family and other OH members? Are you looking for a protein shake, vitamin supplementation products or protein snacks and not sure what to buy?
Check out the OH Products Directory and leave reviews of what you think of the products plus assign star ratings so other members can make better decisions on what they purchase.
If you're going to purchase any products such as protein products, desserts, cereal, vitamin patches and supplements, check the OH Products Directory first to see what other members think on all sorts of products.
If there are products that you buy that aren't on the directory and you think they should be, let us know. Please add the manufacturer/company and the name of the product as a reply to this post. It would also be helpful if you added where you purchase the item, i.e., the name of the retailer or online (with the URL).

The two you have in mind are Dr. Ara Keshishian in Glendale (suburb of Los Angeles) and Dr. John Rabkin of Pacific Laparoscopy in San Francisco.

I have not had a revision, but I do know that Dr. Ara Keshishian is one of the best bariatric surgeons out there. Here's a link to his practice:

Have any of you had a revision from a RnY to a DS and if so who was your surgeon...seems to be a very short list of these qualified surgeons and 2 were from CA, but I can't find their names....Thanks
