Hello! Calling all Georgians, anybody there?

Hello fellow GA bandsters. I live in Kennesaw and work in Calhoun and had Dr. Ponce do my OR on 7-27-05. SO far so good, but no fill yet but I am eating a lot less. Just started on solids. I am looking forward to my 1 month visit on Thursday. So far I have lost 22 lbs. since my consult. Hope after a fill it picks up but as long as it keeps gong down I will be happy.

Good luck to you future bandsters.

I really like my band... it has taken a lot of work to learn what I can and cannot eat, but all in all I am quite pleased. I have lost 27lbs and 30 1/4 inches since surgery.

I have also found that food does not occupy my every thought anymore and that is a welcome change.

Hey to all the Georgians...

I don't know if anyone is still watching this board, but I thought I would tell you a little about myself...

I live in Pooler GA (which is a sub-burb of Savannah, GA) My husband & I pastor a church in Hardeeville, SC

I had my Lapband surgery done May 31, 2005 (My day to remember) with Dr. Henderson in Brunswick, GA (partner of Divalisiousdee's Doctor)

I started at 311.6/ now 275.6/ goal 160

I have had 2 fills

Hope to meet new Bandsters here form our neck of the woods

Blessings, Debbi

Hi, I live in Flintstone, Ga. near Chattanooga, Tn, I haven't been banded yet, going for a consult on Oct. 4. I sure hope that I get approved for the surgery. I'm ready to start a new life. Edna

I'm from Atlanta and scheduled to have surgery in Mexico October 21st. I'm trying to plan ahead for the fills. Unless I want to pay a $2000.00 consultation fee and then $500.00 for each fill, it looks like having fills in Mexico is the only viable options. If anyone has any other alternatives, I would love to hear from you.

Hi I live in Opelika Alabama, I also had my surgery in Mexico, I fly to Chicago to get my fills it only cost me $250.00 for a fill and I can fly from Atlanta to Chicago for 78.00.

Hi Nickie, how do I get in touch with Dr Horgan? I just had a fill last week in

TJ, so I won't be needing one for awhile, but would definately been interested

in finding a closer dr. than Mexico.

Thanks

Rhonda

Hello this is Jason i am in south GA, valdosta-tifton area. I am interested in getting the lap band and are looking for some information on doctors. My original insurance is not going to cover it, so it looks like i will be going to mexico like many of you. Is it really safe over there? I am 6ft 340 pounds and need to get rid of this weight.
