adagray 1 Posted May 10, 2010 I'm in AZ too, banded by Dr. Blackstone of Scottsdale Bariatric Center. Unfortunately, my insurance just dropped Blackstone so she is no longer in-network for me. I need to switch to another doctor for fills, but there's only a few that my insurance covers. Dr. Terry Simpson is one of them. Has anyone gone to him and know his process for fills?

MandaPanda 0 Posted May 11, 2010 I'm hopefully being banded by Dr. Terry Simpson this summer. Still jumping through insurance hoops so keeping fingers crossed. To a previous poster - Dr. Simpson takes on already banded patients but you have to pay a one time program fee. Not sure how much it is. So cool to see others near me in Bandland! :scared2: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TylerDurden 0 Posted May 13, 2010 I was banded on Tuesday at Northwest Hospital in Tucson. My surgeon is Stephen Burpee. No pain or nausea experienced as yet but I did everything he told me to including the 2 week pre-op diet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was banded by Dr. Simpson 1/5/10 and love him and his staff. They are attentive and really listen. If you have a problem or question you can email him or his staff and they'll get back to you. His followup is thorough, I didn't have one problem with the surgery or any of the fills. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
