Has anybody from the Macon area had LapBand surgery with Dr. Bagnato?!?! Please tell me more

Awwwwwww....thanks!!! One more question how does self pay works. I know you pay out of pocket but is there some kind of payment plan u set up ?

No payment plan but alot of banks is financing it so that may option....

I have a surgery scheduled with him sept 14

He did mine on the 14th as well! How are you doing! Have you had your post op?

I'm doing okay. Down 20 lbs already but I'm still on clears. I had my follow up with him on Thursday and he told me to eat some scramble eggs or something since I was feeling "crappy". I tried eating some soup and then eggs and I got horrible powerful hiccups and had to make myself constantly burp. I called today and they said to stay on clears that I prob need to heal more. Now even my protein drinks and having that affect on me. Have u experienced this? How are you doing? Do you know if they have a support group in Macon?

I'm doing good, I think! I was a self pay also. I need to lose about 25-30 more pounds. I'm shocked about how some of these pts. Are eating so differently than we were told. I called on tues or wed and the nurse said that I could start the protein shakes and sf pudding. Not that I was hungry, but worried bc I'm not getting much in. I'm doing cream of and yogurt(no chunks) I'm really not hungry. Sometimes I feel miserable and I wonder if I have eaten to fast? My port is still sore so I'm very careful when I move my arm. I live in Valdosta and will have my post op on Mon. in Albany. Did he release you to exercise? I would love to reach my goal then just maintain. I was a size16, I've lost 20lbs since my seminar.

Congrats on the weight loss! He didn't release me to exercise yet. I really didn't ask. I was really dehydrated so I don't think he would have let me anyways. My port site is really sore too. That's a tricky spot. The first couple days it hurt just reaching for something. Now I am able to sleep on my stomach comfortably. I have a long ways until I reach my goal, about 100 pounds.
