I was banded on January 31st by Dr. Bagnato in Albany and drive 2 hours each way for my fill appointments. Anyone else out there in the Macon or middle GA area? It would be nice to chat with local bandsters! :biggrin2:

I have my fingers crossed on the approval from your insurance. I was denied the first time - the doctor's office submitted my paperwork for approval. So if you are denied you need to call the insurance compay and find out why. My denial was due to the doctor's office leaving out my high blood pressure issue.

I have not gotten a doctor here in ga yet. I had my surgery in Chicago and have not been to see a doctor here since i moved back to ga. I'm going to call around this week and talk with some this week.

I have not regretted having the surgery once since I did it. I think the only thing I miss is my cokes- especially when i'm really stressed.

Be sure to start getting a list of foods that you like that a good sources for Protein. It will be the most important food it you will eat once you have the surgery.

Keep us posted on what's happening. :-)
