I too work at tmobile but in nashville and the insurance pays very well. Plus uhc actually only took 1 week to approve me! I'm very excited but slightly nervous. The good thing is most of my friends are banded and I finally decided to do something to better my health as well. And it is so funny because it feels like 20% of my coworkers have the lapband! And dr. Morton has done almost all of them! Good luck with your surgery!

Dr. Ponce did my surgery at Memorial and it was $18,500 self pay. I had a higher BMI so I was not able to go to the surgery center in Dalton. Too bad...it would have saved me about $5,000 I love everyone at

Dr. Ponce's office. They are SO nice, helpful and supportive!!

I live in Memphis and was banded by Dr. Ortiz in Mexico on August 10. I went back to Mexico for my fill and have not required any follow-up other than that. I had a revision from a failed gastric bypass (staple line disruption) and am very happy with my band.

My first fill was on the 18th of September and I have really good restriction.

Hello All,

I actually feel human these last couple days. Moods are improving not getting tired as much and finding new creative ways to get my Protein in as I am done with the Isopure. Any on in Chattanooga that may be getting ready for surgery email me before you buy any at 3.79 or more a bottle.

I am still trying to get enough liquids in and its hard. I can move around and the weight is still coming down.

Any suggestions on how to get more liquids please let me know.

Hope all have a great weekend
