I too work at tmobile but in nashville and the insurance pays very well. Plus uhc actually only took 1 week to approve me! I'm very excited but slightly nervous. The good thing is most of my friends are banded and I finally decided to do something to better my health as well. And it is so funny because it feels like 20% of my coworkers have the lapband! And dr. Morton has done almost all of them! Good luck with your surgery!

Dr. Ponce did my surgery at Memorial and it was $18,500 self pay. I had a higher BMI so I was not able to go to the surgery center in Dalton. Too bad...it would have saved me about $5,000 :wacko: I love everyone at

Dr. Ponce's office. They are SO nice, helpful and supportive!!

I live in Memphis and was banded by Dr. Ortiz in Mexico on August 10. I went back to Mexico for my fill and have not required any follow-up other than that. I had a revision from a failed gastric bypass (staple line disruption) and am very happy with my band.

My first fill was on the 18th of September and I have really good restriction.

Hello All,

I actually feel human these last couple days. Moods are improving not getting tired as much and finding new creative ways to get my Protein in as I am done with the Isopure. Any on in Chattanooga that may be getting ready for surgery email me before you buy any at 3.79 or more a bottle.

I am still trying to get enough liquids in and its hard. I can move around and the weight is still coming down.

Any suggestions on how to get more liquids please let me know.

Hope all have a great weekend

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
