Hi Nikkal.  My son lives in Surrey, so Hello across the border!   I'm originally from Nelson, BC.

Yes Cash and Carry is still opened in Bellingham


Cash&Carry #552 - Bellingham, WA 405 OHIO STREET
BELLINGHAM, WA 98225
360-676-7360

Now I can't say for sure, if they carry the coffee flavoring syrups, but can confidently say they carry both brands at the store in Everett.  I don't see why they wouldn't carry the same items at the Bellingham store...

Topic: Looking for WLS friendly doc in Spanaway area
I'm needing a doctor who is wls friendly and is part of the tricare insurance network. Thinking of a revision down the road and would be great to have one familiar and approving of WLS. Doesn't have to be right in town. A personality would be great too! Any suggestions would be super!
Need to find one soon for present health issues also.

Thanks!

Hey Kelly,

Great to hear from you!  No group in Gig Harbor as far as I know.  I moved to Seattle almost 2  years ago. 

So what's going on with you?  Nice to catch up!

Take care,
Merrillee

 Merrillee, 

I am glad to hear you are back, but so sorry to hear you lost your band. I know a few people who go to Dr  McMahon, and they really like him.

Do they still have the support group in Gig Harbor? I miss that group. I know you sure helped me when I was getting ready for my surgery.

I will keep you in my prayers.

Take care of yourself.
Kelly

I'm not from that area but I think Dr. Oh is in that area and he is quite good from what I've read. Also I know a gal in that area that runs a support group that may be able to help you, I'll send her her to let you know. Welcome to the great NW.

Topic: Hello WA! Looking for aftercare MD
Hello All!

I am having self-pay surgery in Mexico and am needing to find a great physician in the Seattle area for aftercare.  I am new to Seattle so not familiar with the medical community.  Any suggestions.  I also look forward to joining some local support groups - are there any in seattle or W seattle?

Thanks for your help!

Topic: I'm back....

After quite a successful go with the lapband (installed April of 2007 with Dr. Oh in Federal Way), I had to have emergency surgery in November of 2010 to have it removed.  It had slipped and eroded into my stomach.  Very upsetting.  Also, because I didn't have insurance, I couldn't have a revision to sleeve or RNY at the time. Of course, I have gained a bunch of weight over the last 15 months--even though I have been very careful to eat less than 1300 calories a day and upped my physical exercise - which stinks.  BUT I do have really great (I think- hope-believe) insurance now and am looking at getting an RNY asap.  It looks like my insurance is going to require a 6 month medically supervised diet....which I think is dumb, having been a successful lap band patient.  But, I will do what it takes to get my body back. Hopefully I won't have to go through this ever again!  I am seeing Dr. McMahon at Swedish....mostly because my friend, George, is his ARNP. I am truly grateful I can continue on my journey....wish I didn't have to, of course, but still grateful.
