I have had my initial consultation with my primary care physician and the first thing she asked me was if I had a surgeon. She said she could recommend(sp?) one but they probably wouldn't be in the DC Metro area. I'm in PG County, Maryland. I really cant afford to travel for my surgery. Can anyone in the DC, MD or VA are recommend a surgeon. Thanks:redface:

I think there is a way to do a search through like google or something. I know I found a site when I was looking for all the surgeons w/ in driving distance of me. That was a long time ago and I can't remember what it is now. Good Luck in your search. (I have family that is outside of DC I will talk to my cousin and see if she knows, my aunt had the RNY several years ago in DC so I can get her dr's name and see if he is doing the band, he wasn't then becasue it was before the band was FDA approved.)

Hi:

If you go on the Inamed website and look on the lap band page there is a section where you put in your location and they'll tell you where the lap band trained surgeons are for your area.

Good luck.

Hi there. I live in Charles County and my lap band surgeon is in DC. Dr. Fred Brody from George Washington University Hospital did my surgery last year in April. I highly recommend him and his staff. I had a wonderful experience and have had absolutely NO problems with fills or any other appointments. If you have any questions, just let me know. Good luck to you!!!!
