I'd like to second the recommendation of Cirangle - he's brilliant to work with.  His office staff is also top-notch.  They've made my journey terrific.

I would check with LapSF too. Dr. Cirangle has amazing stats and he does all these really hard cases that no one else will take.

Hello and welcome back =) 

I live in Folsom, not too far from Elk Grove. I believe Sutter in Elk Grove (you would have to double check online) has an open support group at their hospital. "Ruggie" on OH has his own support group that he started and is open to all surgeries (pre and post-op) and meets monthly in the Sacramento area. I haven't had much luck finding too many locally that work well for me though (time constraint's). Good luck!

Topic: Moving back to CA

Hi All,

I moved from San Jose CA to Raleigh NC about a decade ago. We are moving to Elk Grove CA, a suburb of Sacramento. 

I had my weight loss surgery nearly 5 years ago.  I have a huge support group in Raleigh, but will be starting from scratch in Elk Grove because we don't know anyone there. Among other things, I'll need to find a bariatric practice, so if anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. 

I look forward to getting to know people on the CA forum.

I had my  surgery at Alta Bates in Oakland but I did part of my pre-op appointments with Dr. Wetter with Palo Alto Medical Foundation in Burlingame.   He is wonderful and considered a fix it man for bad surgeries done in Mexico.   They only reason I didn't finish the process with Dr. Wetter is that they stopped being on contract with my insurance.
