Hi Grandmabev,
I looked into Madigan doing my lap band but it was a big fat no go. I did here though that they were gearing up to do them. I guess some number crunchers finally showed how much money can be saved. Madigan would not have done my lap band anyway, because my BMI was only 33. I was pretty much borderline as far as weight requirements go. I live in Olympia too!!! Let me know if they will do it for you.
