Banded Angie

I'm 7 days out and still have it in my shoulder

Was banded by Dr Brad Watkins May 25,2012. I live in NE Indiand an hour north of Fort Wayne IN. When I was researching where to go I did alot of watching YouTube videos , obisity help.com you name it I was reading. I knew that I had a doctor in fort Wayne IN an hour south of me to preform the surgery so I went to the semiar and filled out all the insurance info. Well that's as far as I got with the fort Wayne location after months emails and calling the office NOTHING! I knew my insurance covered the surgery so I felt at a loss with comunation with Fort wayne. back to square one for a office that has better Comunniaton skills and cares. End result called Dr Watkins and guess what they answered the phone. And got me approved right away didn't waste any time and I didn't have to beg them to keep moving (heads up to Diana that handles insurance at UC Health weight loss LOVE her) I was told 6 month supervised diet by MY insurance company then I can have the lap band started 6 month diet December 2011 and guess what May 25 2012 I was banded. Sorry to ramble but all I have to say is I Love everyone I came in contact with at UC Health weight loss center and would tell anyone it's 110% worth the drive or fly to this office. Also Dr Watkins is very aggressive to get you to your sweet spot with your band. Another BIG Plus is everyone that works for Dr Watkins had been banded so from the girl who answers the phone to anyone they know how you feel and can answer your questions! If you have any questions please contact me .

I was banded by Dr Brad Watkins on May 25,2012 love everyone in the office . I made a choice to drive 4 hours LOVE the staff!
