I recommend Dr. John Bagnato in Albany Ga. He is the best!! I know several folks that went to Dr.s in Atlanta and were not as happy with their choice as I was! Jo

Update.. Now 16 months post op..down 77 pounds..Love-n it!!

I am just now starting to research cosmetic procedures, and physicians, hosp. cost and insurance. My lapband is now 1 year old and I need to have some skin removed. What insurance companies do yall have? My BC/BC-Anthem covered my band, but I have no idea about plastic surgery.

I was banded on July 10, and LOVE it! I have lost 34 pounds, and I now have 5.5 cc in my band, and doing great!

I am in Eufaula, so that is not far from you. So far I have done wonderful- except for the first few days I have felt great. The first few days I had a lot of gas- from the surgery, after that I was fine- hope you feel better soon, if I can help just holler- I am Jo, and if you need to talk to someone I can call you, o send my number and you can call me. My cell phone is with Verizon-334-695-6615

Thanks for the welcome. I am doing great. I was put on full liquid diet yesterday, because I was loosing too fast. My surgical experience was easy. I was sore for a couple of days, but feel almost back to normal. I had almost no bruising, and my incisions look all healed up. All this in only 5 days. 15 pounds down- 79 to go.

OPPPPPS. I don't know why it posted like that. The first time I tried to post, it didn't work, nor the 2nd time. Now all 3 are there. sorry

My date was July 10- doing great!

July 10. Doing great!

July 10. I am recovering nicely!

Hi, I am Jo, and my surgery was July 10. I live in Al, but my surgery was done in Ga.

I also bought several boxes of Crystal Light. My favorite is the Mango-Peach Green Tea. Plain water gets pretty boring after a while. I made sugar-free jello the day before surgery, and bought some applesauce. Yesterday I had the applesauce for lunch- it was really good!

Dr. Bagnato did not require me to be on a liquid diet pre-op. I only had to be on the sugar buster diet. The sugar buster diet is almost the Atkins Diet. I am on clear liquids post op, my surgery was 4 days ago. I start full liquids on this Friday for a few days , and then soft foods. It has not been hard at all- and I have lost 15 pounds. I did not have to weigh after starting the sugar-buster diet.
