San Diego County - Surgeons

Also, do you continue to see your surgeon annually? I read some dont see us after the first year and some see their patients annually for many years.... Also, If a person has complications/pain do they go to their surgeon, ER or family practioner?  :)  so many questions! lol   My husband and I are going to go to both Dr Canery and Pacific Bariatrics seminars.

I live in Bakersfield and have Kaiser insurance, at the time I had my surgery dont they did not contract with a surgeon locally so I had a choice of either going to a Kaiser surgeon in L.A. or Pacific Bariatric in San Diego, so I had to drive a few hours to get to San Diego but I chose them because I was impressed with their seminar. They come to my town once a month so for post op they basically came to me for a year. I am lucky to say that I have never had an issue, I went back to work 10 days post op. My g.p. at Kaiser is very knowledgeable about wls care and they have a whole bariatric team too. My husband just had a rny June 6th but it was here in Bakersfield, he had some issues but is doing really well now.
