Any great Central Oregon doctors?

Hi all,

I am in the beginning stages of learning about lap-bands. Does anyone know any surgeons here in Bend that you would refer? I'm also wondering about the costs. I think there was a doctor in Klamath Falls that did them for less than $10k? Has anyone used him? Thanks soo much!

I went to Dr. Archer at Advanced Specialty Care. I love the office, the staff, the program and Dr. Archer! They have been great and very supportive. There is support group each month and you can always contact the staff with any questions. They hold their information meetings on the 3rd Tue of each month at SCMC.

I was self-pay and it was $15K for the Realize band. It was worth every penny! Let me know if you have any other questions!

I looked him up online and seems like they have high credentials.

Was $15k from beginning to end? I HATE putting my family in debt for it but I absolutely cannot lose this weight on my own and it seems to be costing us for all the fad diets I try. How much did you lose in the first month?
