So i thought i'd do a mini roll call. So how many people here are from the Huntsville Area?

"have my hand raised". I actually live in Fayetteville, TN but work and do most of our business in Huntsville. (only 25 miles away) I plan to have my surgery in Birmingham with Dr. Miles... sometime around April 08.

Are you talking about Huntsville TX, Huntsville AL, or TN?

Huntsville, Alabama

[Savedbygrace 11]

oh come on... surely we have more people close to Huntsville, AL. Maybe we should post a thread under the Alabama forum.

I'm not from Alabama but close. I live in Lynchburg, TN. I just finished all the paperwork, 6 month dr stuff. Now I'm waiting on dr to send all my information to Dr. Spaw at Baptist Hospital in Nashville. I hope to be banded before Christmas, would love to do it before Thanksgiving.

I have attended a couple of seminars, one for gastric bypass and one for lap band. I am coming here to this site to get more information! One doctor I am considering is Dr. Grooves in Albertville, the other one is Dr. Freeman in Anniston.

My daughter lives in Birmingham and is scheduled a seminar with Dr. DeWitt there in Birmingham.

I am in Moulton, Al. I have a friend who used the doctors you mentioned in Guntersville. She will be 1 year out and has not lost 40 pounds. Only 2 fills and still has no restriction. I would ask questions about the kind of care they get from these doctors. I think the one that did hers actually had the surgery himself. Ask lots before making a decision. Dr. Adams in Decatur did mine but he is leaving at the end of June. Dr. Suggs in Decatur is going to do my husband's lap band in August - pending BCBS AL approval.

Oh dear, do you mean Dr. Grooves from Albertville? I would think that 40 pounds in a year would not be very good - can you tell me more?

Many Thanks

Patricia

I've only heard good things about Dr. Groves. I would have considered him more had if I had known he comes to Madison also to do the surgery. I also work with his brother in law and yes he does have the band himself.

AL- I would tell your friend to insist on more fills, more support -SOMETHING if she is following the bandsters rules.
