:notagree Hey everyone I'm from Rhea County TN and I'm going to be banded by Dr. Fromm who is partners with Dr. Ponce and Dr. Paynter. Has anyone hear of hime of had the band put in by him?

goodluck to all I feel the same way, I've been waiting for at least 3 months to hear something good from insurance and I"m just a month away, hopefully all goes well with the rest of u, I know some have been waiting much longer than others

Hey everyone I'm at 360 rite now and my height is 5'6 I'm still in pre op but hope to have my surgery in a month. My goal is to lose at least 160 lbs.

yea I sure hope so all this waiting gives me to much time to think and when I think on something to long especially this surgery it scares me to death and in some cases I back out!! But I don't think I will this time I've reached an all time high of 360 and I want to at least be around 200 and in my opinion I cant do it alone.

O it went great I mean it took a while but I enjoyed talking to everyone who came in for adjustments, about how things were going with their band. Well all they make you do is weigh no socks or shoes! Pain in the butt lol. They get your height then you talk with the Dr. briefly and he will determine if your a candidate, then you'll watch a 30 min. video// speak with the lady about insurance and then your just setting and waiting to see what insurance is going to do, or what else they are going to have you do..

Dreikalina I've been to DR. Ponce and he is a great Dr. in my mind, he has alot of recomendations and has done the band many times he's awsome. I had my first consultation with him and was sad to find out he wasn't in my network but one of his partners Dr. Fromm is going to do mine and he is also a great Dr.

Hey everyone I'm new also to the system here, and I've been pre op for about 3 months now having had my seminar then consulation twice two different doctors one in my network and one out of my network then after another a months wait on insurance I was told I needed to have a phycological eval so now hopefully 4 more weeks to approval!
