Hi......It is really strange. I am from Washington as well. I was grew up in Vancouver and was there up till about 8 years ago. All my family still live around that area and up north. I now live in Israel. For how long I don't know. However, I don't have to pay a thing for my band and there was no waiting period I wanted one and my PCP said it sounded good to her so off I went to the surgeon and within 6 weeks got a date for surgery. Very diffrent from trying in the states. We are both scheduled on the 24th. I am going to do a high protein low carb diet for a week before the surgery My doctor
said it wasn't necessary, but I think that I will still do it anyway. it will get me in the mood for the weeks to follow the surgery. Good Luck on yours!!

Thanks. I know, I was surprised that my GP said once I refer you to the surgeon thats all it takes! So, I am headed there on the 6th!! It could happen in as little as 2 weeks from there. I am so excited and scared at the same time. I moved here about 9 months ago. So it has been an adjustment on how the medical system works here. You would be amazed at how many people come here from America to have the surgery. When you are sell pay it is cheaper to fly here and pay for the surgery and have a vacation, then to have the surgery there!
