Banded By Dr. Machado? (Sacramento)



Recommended Posts

Hi, I know there are a couple of Sacramento threads going on, but I was wondering if there were those who had thier band done by Dr. Laura Machado or who are planning to go through her? :)

Hi...

I was banded by Dr. Machado a year ago. Do you guys ever get together as a group? Or meet once in awhile for dinner? Exercise together? I think I would like to do that. Is anyone interested at all?:incazzato:

Hello! I am planning on going through Dr. Machado. I have my insurance approval and go on Monday the 11th to her new patient seminar. I'm excited and nervous all at the same time.

Hi. I also am considering Dr. Machado. Will be attending December seminar. Anyone else out there still pre-op? Any recent cost updates?

The BAND-ONLY support group in Sacramento meets next Saturday, Feb. 19th, 2011!

ALL LapBanders are welcome! Even if you are pre-surgery!!!

Sacramento Valley Bandsters Support Group

third Saturday of every month from 10:30-12:30.

Sutter Cancer Center

Classroom 1, First Floor

2800 L Street, Sacramento

Easy parking is available one short block away in covered lot on 29th Street, between K and L streets. This costs $1 per hour. There is also street parking on the blocks surrounding the area that use a meter to park. I think its approx. 25-cents per 15 min. increment of time.

This group was purposely set up so as NOT to conflict with the other support groups in the area.

Any and ALL band patients; from ANY doctor or hospital are welcome to attend.

Please join us!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
