I had my surgery 9-13-06 and am down 55 pounds. I've recently been able to start exercising so hope to start losing a little faster. I live in Sedro Woolley, WA.
I love my band!

City: Graham State: Washington | Hi, I use to own and grew up at Firgrove Day care across the street for Curves. I am having surgery done by Dr. Srikanth @ Surgical Center for Weigh Loss in Tacoma. The surgery will be done at St. Francis Hospital. I am getting more and more excited! less than 48 hrs.

Hi there, I live in Lake Steven's by Everett, I went to Northwest Weight Loss Center in Everett. Dr's Montgomery and Watkins. It is way cool there and they are so very nice and helpful. Almost everyone you will meet there has a LAP-BAND®. I got myine last september and i love it. you should really look there. plus all your aftercare for one year is all included in your initial price. they have 2 support groups a month and you can go up to bellingham for fills. they are up there once a month if you'd rather go north. south sucks for traffic reasons. but the center is in a beautiful brand new building and i can't say enough great things about the folks there.

HI Ellen
The NW Weight Surgery Center in Everett has an excellent reputation. Most of the support staff has been banded and they are very helpful
and can provide first hand information. Their address and phone numbers are as follows:
Everett office:
125 130th Street SE
Everett, WA 98208
(425)385-2263 (BAND)
Toll free (866)350-BAND (866-350-2263)
(425)385-8476 (fax) info@thelapband.com
I have talked and read quite a bit about the different weight loss procedures and I strongly believe the LAP-BAND ® is the best. It is adjustable, reversable and has far less side affects than bypass
surgery.
The cost is more than is Mexico but 1 year free support and adjustments are part of the price.

City: Graham State: Washington | Hi Fishy, I live in Graham ! I was banded May 4th. I went to Surgical weight Loss center in Tacoma. My Doctor is Dr. Srikanth ,The surgery was done at St Francis Hospital in Federal Way. I am doing good. I still am suffering from gas pains but can deal with them! I attend the weight loss support groups at St. Joesph in Tacoma they meet the 1 & 3 Mondays of each month. I also go to the Surgical weight loss Center support group that meets at the La Quinta Inn. It is in Tacoma off I-5 on the first Wednesday of each month. Do you have a follow up Dr. set up. I hear it is a really good idea to have that all done before you have your band done. You may call the Surgical Weight loss center as they work with patients having it done in Mexico. I was self pay also. I choose to stay here and have it done. I just really liked Dr. Srikanth and felt very comfortable with him.
I wish you the best of luck in your new journey. You are going to do great!
Soon it will be Gone For Good!

City: Federal Way State: WA | Banding in Mexico
Hello.
I'm planning on getting banded in the next couple of months, but I'm having some problems...
1. I was approved for financing, via CapitalOne, but they only finance Dr's that have USA medical licenses (found that out after I found Dr. Ortiz).
So, with that, does anyone know of a doctor that has ties to a Mexican doctor and is always willing to work something out??? Prices here in the states are way too high...Ortiz is charging $8500 right now!
Any advice is welcome!
Courtney

State: Washington | Courtney- I wouldn't know about Ortiz, I am a Kuri gal. My doc had a finance company he worked with. Have you asked Ortiz or his patient coordinator? My friend got a regular loan from a bank, but I suppose that is what you already tried, huh?
DeAnn- Congrats!! I hear great things about Dr. Srikanth and Dr. Fox too, my friend goes to him for fills. He charges $402 for a first fill and $250 for subsequent fills. They are working on getting fluoroscopy, but currently do blind fills.
Hey Kurt! I was banded in MX too and am in Bremerton. I get my fills in Olympia. Feel free to PM or email. It would be nice to have a band buddy who is almost local.
