shavone76 0 Posted June 25, 2008 Hello Everybody My name is Shavone and I will be having my surgery on July 9th 2008. I live in Atlanta Ga. It's good to see a site like this so I can chat with fellow lap banders or possible prospects. I am 32yrs old, 5'5 and weigh 242. My highest weight topped off at 252. My weight has been an issue for the last ten years. I am hoping this surgery will be the added tool needed to help me achieve my goal weight. So go shead ask questions, ttul Shavone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
88KEYZ 0 Posted June 25, 2008 Congrats! I too am in the Atlanta metro and was banded on 4/19. I am so happy with it and would do it again tomorrow if I had too. Who is your doc and where are you having this done at? I actually went to Mexico as my insurance would not pay, but my Father went through Emory for his. This is a great decision and you will be very happy!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
