Bellingham area fill doctor?



Recommended Posts

I believe The Northwest Weight Loss Surgery Centre, based out of Everett, has a Nurse that travels to Bellingham occassionally to perform adjustments. Here is their website. Give them a call and find out... if not, Everett is not that far away for you.

LAP-BAND Surgery, Seattle Washington

Good Luck.

Great thanks! I actually live in Chilliwack BC, but I'm looking into getting banded by someone not in BC and will need to find a fill doctor. I wonder if they will see people who were not banded by them.. guess I'll have to call and find out.

Appreciate the response. I see you were banded in Surrey, are you a fellow Canuck? What was your overall opinion of Dr Leung? Ive heard he lacks a bit in the bedside manner? Also, I have heard he is getting up there in years so if he retires will his band patients be referred elsewhere? I know he does not take other surgeons band patients for fills.

Thanks!

Hello Everyone

I am looking for a fill doctor in the bellingham area or some where close.

I am also interested in what the different doctors charge. I was banded by the Puget Sound Surgical Center and they have since dropped my insurance and have rasied the fill charge to $160 which seems very high for 5 minutes and a needle.:)

My mother in law had her band in Mexico. NWWLS/Everett would not take anyone that they didn't band. She lives in Bellevue and goes to a gal in Arlington named Kitty. I can get a number if you need it.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
