Hello I am interested in lap band surgery and I was wondering if anyone knows of any Dr's in the Sacramento area. I am also looking for informational meetings or support groups in the area. Pleas if anyone has any information that would be great!!! Thank you!!!

Dr. McKeen is in San Jose and he is excellent. I was banded 10 months ago and love it.

I am also looking for a dr. in sacramento area, I found a website sacramentobariactrics.com I called and they have monthly seminars.

Ohh i also found this website! Thanks for all the info!

The BAND-ONLY support group in Sacramento meets next Saturday, Feb. 19th, 2011!

ALL LapBanders are welcome! Even if you are pre-surgery!!!

Sacramento Valley Bandsters Support Group

third Saturday of every month from 10:30-12:30.

Sutter Cancer Center

Classroom 1, First Floor

2800 L Street, Sacramento

Easy parking is available one short block away in covered lot on 29th Street, between K and L streets. This costs $1 per hour. There is also street parking on the blocks surrounding the area that use a meter to park. I think its approx. 25-cents per 15 min. increment of time.

This group was purposely set up so as NOT to conflict with the other support groups in the area.

Any and ALL band patients; from ANY doctor or hospital are welcome to attend.

Please join us!

I'm using Dr Machado. She has been awesome to work with so far. Very informative!! There is a class they offer with all kinds of details - I think it meets once a month. Good luck!
