Hello everyone,

Is there anyone out there who has had an eroded LapBand removed by a surgeon with Kaiser Harbor City?

I have a friend who just found out and she has Kaiser. I don't like that the surgeon who they referred her to isn't that experienced, so I'm seeking some information.

Hi there,

I had my band removal ( although not eroded) and RNY surgery with Dr. Robert Zane at Kaiser's Southbay facility and highly recommend him. I actually had closer option in my area (San Diego) but after meeting with him decided he was worth the extra travel. His bedside manner is great, never condescending. He gives you all the facts and his recommendations but ultimately lets you decide. Hope everything works out for your friend!
