I am having surgery with Dr. Ponce in Dalton, GA. I live in SC and have posted to the SC forum...if there is anyone else out there in SC; it would be great to get that forum going. I reseached the LapBand and RNY. Initially, I was interested in the LB; Because I would have to travel out of state to get the best price and the Dr. I felt comfortable with...I started to second guess the LB and focused on the RNY. There is a wonderful local Doctor with vast experience and a great reputation. ( He was not negative about the LapBand, he said he has not been trained in the procedure and therefore he is not doing it but did not knock it) Cigna denied my surgery and I switched back to the LB. I decided the trip and my health was worth it.
