Shannon 0 Posted March 17, 2005 Hey guys, I'm Shannon. I've been banded 1 month now and I've lost about 22 lbs! I live in Birmingham, Alabama and I was Dr Ronald Clements 5th lap band patient! Dr Clements is awesome! I had a great recovery, and I have NO REGRETS! I have attached my before and 1 month after pics! I have gone from 241 to 218 in 4 weeks... measurements.doc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

officegirlblues 0 Posted March 26, 2005 Hey, Shannon. I'm Hope and I'm in Mobile. You're doing so great! I'm so excited for you! I haven't been banded yet, trying to find a dr. and all. So you were happy with your doc? Did they offer lots of help and stuff? I'm trying to get financing for my surgery... I think it's gonna be a long process! Anyway, just wanted to say hi and congrats!

Thanks, Jennifer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shannon 0 Posted March 26, 2005 Hey OGB! I LOVED Dr Clements! He and his staff are so friendly and helpful. I wouldn't change my decision to go with him for a million bucks! I would totally recommend him to anyone. He now does lap band outpatient and my friend Denise (from Bham) was just his first outpatient surgery on March 14. She did great and I think it cost her about $11,000. I'm so happy that this is catching on in Alabama. It's (in my opinion) such a better option that bypass! (Not downing anyone with bypass!) If you need to talk or ask any questions, feel free to email me! smlayton@charter.net Good luck! Shannon 241/217 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shannon 0 Posted March 26, 2005 Hey jrowell! Congrats on your upcoming surgery! That is my son's 3rd birthday! Dr Miles is at MCE, isn't he? Or is he at Carraway? I don't know. ?? Anyway, I'm so glad that you have made the decision to go ahead and do this...I don't think you'll regret it! This is my experience.... http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/profile.phtml?N=L1096003282 If you'll go to my picturetrail, you'll see pics of my incisions and stuff. They actually started looking REALLY good in the last couple of days...I'll try to update it in just a minute. http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?ShannonLayton Good Luck! SHANNON! 241/217 PS-We should get an Alabama lap-band group outing soon! I know of 2 other people who have had this done! That would be fun! Yay! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
