hi everyone!! i have just returned from spokane attending seminar on the lap band. so glad i went. have been researching this for well over a year , have a friend in texas who had it done last year and is doing wonderfully well. so glad i went to seminar , it has helped me to definitely make the choice to have this done. i am seeking info from people who have had the surgery done in everett as to where u went for fills , travel times in winter , whether you drove , flew ect. looking forward to hearing from you

langley girl ? as in langley b.c.? pls let me know as if so id love to talk with you as to where u had it doen and such as i am currently looking at going to washington state for it.

have no idea i guess same as it does b4 it goes in??

18 grand u.s. in everette. covers everything , including all apppointments , counciling , ect for first year and some stuff for ever. wish i knew the dr.s in b.c. doing it. dont care if i have to pay for it or not. i want it done and done real soon

to my knowlege no one in b.c. does the surgery. as well as there is only a 3 week wait list to have it done in everett as oppossed to 3 year wait lists for surgery here in b.c.

heather i just attended seminar in spokane washington , and the northwest weight loss surgery clinic which is who put on the seminar and have thousands , said it does not have to be replpaced unless erossion takes place and that is very rare. erossion only happpens if it (the band) gets absorbed into the stomach. it said all medical devices are at risk for failure but it is extremely rare in the lap band. hope this helps you feel better. the seminar helped me to make my mind up to definitely have the procedure done. tara--b
