I am once again considering the Lap Band and would like to know if anyone is from WA that has been banded?

Time4Me,

I live in Spokane,WA. I got my lapband on 12/21/05 in Post Falls, ID. What part of Washington do you live in?

Yes sir. South central Washington.

Hey, I'm in Oly! Where are you?

I am on the Coast about 55 miles from Olympia.

What doctors are you going to?

I'm going to Dr. Rumbaut in Monterrey, MX.

It seems legit, since he worked for Inamed and offers you an Inamed card with an ID# for your band. The package is $10,600.

You live out by longbeach?

I live out in federal way.. band date 09/05/07

I live in Oregon. Not WA, but close! I paid 10,000 with my dr.

I live in Hoquiam, next to Aberdeen. Anyone go to or planning to go to Dr. Neal or Ogle?

:whoo:I live at Ft. Lewis. Going to Bremerton Naval Hospital to be banded October 1st.

Hey other Wafolks!

Yup. I am in Maple Valley!

I went to UWMC for my band...fairly new program, longer history with by-pass, but on my insurance plan, so that made the choice a little easier.

I am 3 months post-op, down 41 lbs since surgery, 54 pounds total, and couldn't be happier!

Great to know there are so many WA and NW folks here!

I'm in Bellingham.

To be banded 9/19 in Everett.

I too am being banded at UWMC. I think it will be late September/early October. They seem to have a great staff - I am getting anxious!!!
