Vane, I am having my surgery through this Dr. group. I will be having my surgery this Thursday with Dr. Ali. It is basically the same group. Lite Dimensions is where the doctor's offices are. Smart Dimensions is now called Orange Coast Memorial Center for Obesity. I think that you go to one or the other depending on your insurance and doctor's group. Best of luck, Joanne

I have a good friend who had surgery through Lite Dimensions on 1-4-06. Her experience was very different from mine (UCLA 4-5-05) and our other friend (Cedar Sinai 1-21-04). Basically, she did not receive any educational support, and only saw the nutritionist the day before surgery. In addition, she was not encouraged to exercise or take many supplements. I am wondering (hoping?) if she is an isolated case...

I went through the Lite Dimensions Program in California. My surgeon was Dr. Mir Ali - wonderful surgeon and very wonderful program! Lite Dimensions (Garden Grove, Ca) and Smart Dimensions (Fountain Valley or Orange Coast) I believe they are seperate programs.
