    $700 fills in Oxford, MS!

    They have quoted you the wrong price. Byars and King in together. Their office charges $150.00 per visit after your first year.

    Mississippi Bandsters!

    Ms. Wilson works for both doctors. Byars is the way to go. About 95% of the 40+ hospital employees that are banded have used him.

    Mississippi Bandsters!

    Becky Wilson works with The Surgicial Clinic of North Ms 662-513-9671. She can guide you through the process if you choose Dr. Byars in Oxford. He has preformed surgery on my wife and I. She has lost 70lbs since April and I have lost 48lbs since Nov. 26. Good luck.

    No fill yet!

    Congrats on your weightloss. Please address your concerns with your doctor. Earlier in the month, I went for my second doctors visit (6 week) and practically begged for a fill and did not receive one because I had lost 14 pounds in four weeks. Additionally, I have a friend that has lost over 100lb since April without a fill. Keep on doing well and let us know how your next doctor's visit goes.

    The band and exercise

    I was banded on Nov. 26th and have put in 15-20 miles per week of jogging for the last three weeks. I haven't had any problems so far. Just can't wait to drop some more pounds so I can pick up the pace for some springtime 5-10ks.

    Oprah Show today

    I watched the show and on at least two occassions O.W. stressed that the participants lost their weight witout diet pills or WLS. I am just proud they lost weight and hope they keep it off. I went online to the forum page and was really pissed when people were saying that WLS people are lazy etc...

    Is your wife banded ??

    My wife was banded in late April and has lost 60 pounds. She looks and feels great. I have just got the band and look forward to being able to be on the same page with her. Hate to admit it but I was eating my food and her leftovers too.
