Any Georgia future or current Banders on this site. I live in southeast Ga and wanted to see if there were any people from the Ga on here!

I really like my band... it has taken a lot of work to learn what I can and cannot eat, but all in all I am quite pleased. I have lost 27lbs and 30 1/4 inches since surgery.

I have also found that food does not occupy my every thought anymore and that is a welcome change.

I live in Brunswick and was banded 6/17/05 with Dr. Henderson.

Not sure if my previous response took. I'm from Brunswick and was banded 6/17/05 by Dr. Henderson.

Hey I was banded by Dr Kent

My wife was banded on 7-14-03 by Dr.Ponce. We live in Cohutta, just north of

Dalton.

Hey to all the Georgians...

I don't know if anyone is still watching this board, but I thought I would tell you a little about myself...

I live in Pooler GA (which is a sub-burb of Savannah, GA) My husband & I pastor a church in Hardeeville, SC

I had my Lapband surgery done May 31, 2005 (My day to remember) with Dr. Henderson in Brunswick, GA (partner of Divalisiousdee's Doctor)

I started at 311.6/ now 275.6/ goal 160

I have had 2 fills

Hope to meet new Bandsters here form our neck of the woods

Blessings, Debbi

Hi, I live in Flintstone, Ga. near Chattanooga, Tn, I haven't been banded yet, going for a consult on Oct. 4. I sure hope that I get approved for the surgery. I'm ready to start a new life. Edna

:banana Hi, where is everyone getting those cute graphics? I love them.Thanks, Edna

I'm from Atlanta and scheduled to have surgery in Mexico October 21st. I'm trying to plan ahead for the fills. Unless I want to pay a $2000.00 consultation fee and then $500.00 for each fill, it looks like having fills in Mexico is the only viable options. If anyone has any other alternatives, I would love to hear from you.

Hi I live in Opelika Alabama, I also had my surgery in Mexico, I fly to Chicago to get my fills it only cost me $250.00 for a fill and I can fly from Atlanta to Chicago for 78.00.

Hi Nickie, how do I get in touch with Dr Horgan? I just had a fill last week in

TJ, so I won't be needing one for awhile, but would definately been interested

in finding a closer dr. than Mexico.

Thanks

Hello this is Jason i am in south GA, valdosta-tifton area. I am interested in getting the lap band and are looking for some information on doctors. My original insurance is not going to cover it, so it looks like i will be going to mexico like many of you. Is it really safe over there? I am 6ft 340 pounds and need to get rid of this weight.

Wheren is Dr. Ponce located, and what type of pricing was it ? Jason, male 6ft 340 pounds.

Marcus,

I also live South Georgia, There is 2 Doctors who are in Albany who do this, have 3+ years and have done over 400 successful surgeries. The cost for a self pay is about $16,000 for all, including fills etc... covered in cost.

I can tell you that they are great, they walk you through everything, no surprises, have a special nurse that you can call for anything. They are 1st class in every way. There are also banks in the area that will finace this procedure as well.

You need to go to a meeting They have one each month, they will give you all the info. If you have any questions, let me know
