Any one in Eastern Washington (Spokane)

:-? I'm new to this forum and now I'm jealous. I've read of get togethers in Tacoma area but none for the Spokane Tri-cities area. My surgery date is March 20th. Can't wait to be a Bandster.

Hi, I'm in Okanogan...where do you plan on going for your fills? That has been a big concern for me. I live in the middle of nowhere...I know a local doctor does fills for his nurse after hours on the QT, but figure either the Puget Sound or down to the Tri Cities is it for me. I've yet to schedule...trying to decide on a date in the first week of April.

I was hoping to find someone in the Spokane area. My PCP is doing some research for me. Otherwise I think maybe the Everett Area, I have family there. I was kind of thinking maybe I could find someone to go with or them ride with me Etc, to share the ride and the experience. I'm having my surgery in Tj on March 20th. I live in Metaline Falls. We should get together sometime, maybe Colville.

I was watching the news and there is a new Lap band Dr in Spokane. He's just moved here but has lots of experience. I talked with his office and he will do aftercare and fills for patients that have had their bands placed elsewhere. I did forget to ask about cost. His name is Dr. Trotter his number and address is Valley Outpatient Surgery Center 1414 N. Houk Rd, Suite 204 Spokane, Wa. 99216 phone 509-922-0362 or call Lori at his office 344-3100

Excellent! Thank you so much for sharing that with me...my biggest concern has been what would happen if I had a problem and needed a quick unfill. I think I can do that in Omak if I ask nicely, but being able to go to Spokane for my fills is wonderful. I will be calling them this week and speaking with Lori about whether they use fluroscopy and costs.
