angelsoul 0 Posted November 15, 2007 Hi everyone, Just wondering if anyone knows of a place I could receive the new AP Lap Band in Georgia? I want to have my insurance pay for it, and neither Emory or DeKalb Medical offer the AP Band. Any information offered would be SOOOO appreciated. Thanks!:help: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
georgia girl 35 Posted November 16, 2007 I'm not sure how far you are willing to travel, but I was banded in Albany, Ga by Dr. Bagnato at Palmyra Medical Center. I have the AP small band. Dr. Bagnato and the hospital staff were amazing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bparris 0 Posted November 16, 2007 Dr. J. Ryland Scott at the Harbin Clinic in Rome Ga. now uses only the AP band. He does all his surgeries at Floyd Medical Center. I was just banded on Monday, 11/12. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks!:help: First things first, you need to call your insurance company and find out who they will pay for you to be banded by. Then call those surgeons and ask about the AP band. There is no reason why any US surgeon wouldn't be using it, it's been out since mid-June. I'd push for a reason why they aren't using it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
