Hi Babette,

My doctor is Dr. Pinson, in Tupelo. He's a very good doctor, can't tell you much about cost, it was covered by insurance. I can tell you if I had to pay I would have because it well worth it.

Good Luck!

keep us posted!

Hi! My doctor is Dr. Walker Byars in Oxford, MS. The total cost which includes: psychological evaluation, hospital, anethesia, etc was $15,500.00. Dr. Byars has a new office. It is called Oxford Surgery and Bariatric Clinic. The telephone number is (662)234-4744. I highly recommend Dr. Byars. This surgery and his long talks has really helped and I feel like I have a new and better life.

Is that after insurance? Becky told me $26,000. I have talked with their office also. I must have 20% of that upfront.

Thanks,

Babette

I banded on 3/15/10 by Dr. William Avara in Ocean Springs. He is really nice and will answer any questions. I'm struggling with the weight loss or I have unrealistic expectations but hanging in there. I lost 9lbs pre-surgery and have lost 7lbs post surgery (well lost 8.5 and gained 1.5 back).
