I was banded by Dr. Simpson on April 21, 2009 and so far so good!

The office staff is super nice and Dr. Simpson is a pro at what he does.

I will get my first fill hopefully on June 2nd and cannot wait!

Anyone else out there banded by Dr. Simpson?

I don't know for sure if there are, but you might check your local hospital...they have a support group in Flagstaff at my local hospital that is free and welcomes any WLS patient.

Had an excellent experience with Doctor Simpson doing my surgery. He and his staff are all so calm and professional it was an excellent experience and I felt well cared for ecery step of the way!!!

I have surgery scheduled for March 8th with Dr Simpson. I live in Surprise as well so probably wont be making it to any of the support meetings. Do you know how many CCs the band is that Dr S uses? How was the recovery? I saw a post saying that those with the single incision had a longer recovery time.

Haven't seen any posts lately - anyone around?

Just a word of caution - I'm self pay, had been quoted the $13,500 price, and at the last minute, was told there was a $1,000 additional fee because I had sleep apnea and would have to have the surgery at a different center (Canyon) than the one next door (Surgical Specialty). I have MILD sleep apnea. This is something that I wrote on my paperwork from the very beginning. So, the all inclusive price is not always all inclusive. I had just paid 100% of my money, and within 10 minutes, it was all given back to me when I said I would not pay $1,000 more. I selected his office because they didn't have add on fees. Very sad. I shopped around A LOT before I selected him. Be careful. I decided on another center rather than being duped into paying more. It left a very bitter taste in my mouth. I hope you have a better experience.
