  1. Oh, PS I am not a blogger I am a real person......
  2. My band cost 6K all total including my hotel for 2, meals for me and transportation to and from the hospital plus followups after surgery. It was wonder! I had Dr. Ariel Ortiz, you know the one that was on the Ophra show and she was right. He is top notch. I'm in Atlanta and was banded in 2011. *No Complications*
  3. I was trying to get my insurance to pay for my band but Emory here in Georgia kept giving me the run around for a year. So, I went to Ophra's website and looked up the lapband doctor from her show who was in Mexico. Dr Ariel Ortiz! I paid a couple of thousand I saved up over that year of Emory running me around. I was banded in 2011. *NO COMPLICATIONS*
  4. I have never heard that before! Why?
  5. O his location is downtown Atlanta across from Atlanta Medical Center and he has a North end location but I don't know the exact location. I love his staff!
  6. Dr. Titus Duncan... fills $150 will take patients that he didn't do the surgery.
