Surgery Aug. 17th at UWMC

So, my surgery is scheduled for Aug. 17th at the Univwesity of Washington Medical Center. My surgeon is Dr. Kandelwal. I live in Oak harbor on Whidbey Island. Anyone else from my neck of the woods?

    Close enough. Where are you getting banded?

    Close enough. Where are you getting banded?

    I was banded eight months ago today at Swedish Hospital in Seattle, and I've lost 109 pounds so far - awesome!! Dr. Ross McMahon was great to work with. I have Tricare Prime, and after a few false starts with other clinics who I learned didn't accept my insurance, I was referred to him. The experience was amazing, and I have no regrets.

    I have a coworker who was banded at UW about 18 months ago. He says they were great to work with, too. I think you're in good hands.

    Good luck with your surgery!
