It amazing how different doctors have you do all these different things. I basically went to one visit with the Dietician,one suppor mtg, one visit with the Pysch, one for the Barium swallow and my PCP. It was nothing to it. I think 5mths with a dietician and then on top of that some want you to lose weight first... I don't think they know it's a disease and if it were that easy, we wouldn't need to have the band.. Thank god for my Dr. Gorjala at Surgery South in Atlanta. As soon as I was approved they scheduled be 2wks out. I would think that after the approvals, Dr's would want to go ahead and schedule the surgery soon because insurance changes fast.... Just venting....

Hello Everybody My name is Shavone and I will be having my surgery on July 9th 2008. I live in Atlanta Ga. It's good to see a site like this so I can chat with fellow lap banders or possible prospects. I am 32yrs old, 5'5 and weigh 242. My highest weight topped off at 252. My weight has been an issue for the last ten years. I am hoping this surgery will be the added tool needed to help me achieve my goal weight. So go shead ask questions, ttul Shavone
