Hi my name is Julie and I live in Gulfport, I have not been banded yet, i just finished all the test and now I am waiting on final approval. My doctor is from Oschners, Dr William Richardson, I should know in a couple of weeks if I am approved. I have been reading another lap band site in dallas, i didnt know they was one in gulfport. I will keep in touch and if I do get approved, maybe we should start a support group here. Julie
