Hey Y'all! I wanted to introduce myself. I am having my initial consultation this Tuesday. I hope to start my 3 month diet. Did anyone here get banded at Emory? If so, by which doctor?

Hello everyone. I've been posting on the site for a while now and I can't believe I just found this section. I was banded by Dr. Bagnato as well on 9-20-07. Things are going great for me and I love, love, love my band. Nice to meet ya'll and take care.

I've had foot surgery this year and all my deductibles and out of pockets have been met.

Good luck to all ya'll!!:)

Surgery date approved!!! December 4th at the Lanier Park Campus of Northeast Georgia Medical Center.:whoo:

Hi guys. I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I will be banded Tuesday morning at Emory by Dr. Edward Lin. I am nervous as it gets closer but i am so looking forward to this. :)

Hi Para Girl, I am from Tifton. I too was banded by dr B on Oct 4th. I have been asking for a support group also. Malik says they are putting one together for us. It's nice to have support thru this journey. I had my first fill on Nov 13th. 3ccs in my 10cc band. I was nervous at first, but the procedure it self was a easy. Although I do not have the restriction I was looking for. Can't wait for my next fill Dec 3rd. I look forward to getting to know you and the rest of the Oct bandits. Good luck and God Bless!

Hey ya'll, My name is Michelle and I live in Stone Mountain. I have been on this site for sometime now but have mainly hovered in the main forums. I just found this thread because I was tracking down MysticstarD (Dalia) so I thought I would pipe up and shout out to all my GA sistas and bros!

Now, to MysticstarD, an explaination as to why I was tracking you down. I was reading another thread and noticed your avitar (the baby pic) and realized it is a reborn. So I looked at your profile and found you were a fellow Georgian. Very cool!! I just recently found out about reborns thru ebay ( which I absolutely love) and thought " I can do that!" It would be a great hobby for me since I need an outlet. Anyways, easier said than done!! I have a toddler and cannot devote the time and concentration that these babies need to become beauties! Anyways, down the line I hope to pick it up and was wondering if I could come to you with problems, tips, and advice? If not that is okay! I can understand if you'd want to keep your secrets safe! Especially since these babies are so pricey! But, it would be nice to have a fellow reborner to talk to!

Yes, I have been reborning for almost two yrs and I have no secrets. I can help you with any info you need. My email is dalia421@yahoo.com contact me at any time.

Hello fellow Georgians
How is everyone doing?
Enjoying our great weather I hope!!!!!
I guess we all don't have or shouldn't have excuses for not exercising with our weather...LOL

mbanja · 12-10-2007, 02:28 PM

Thanks so much Dalia!!! It is awsome knowing that one of my fellow bandster and Georgians does reborns!! I checked out your web pages and your little ones are adorable!!! And let me also note that you are beautiful yourself!! As I said previously it will be sometime before I can actually do my own project I tried but my little one wouldn't let me concentrate and wanted to play with the babies and paints! LOL. Plus I didn't want to scare her taking the babies apart to work on them. I am so excited to do them though! I just can't wait! I am a perfectionist so I know I won't be able to devote enough time to them right now but as soon as I get my little one in a "mothers morning out" program I will at least be able to have a couple of hours to my "reborn baby."

I grew up not very far from you. I lived in Norman Park for 19 years, then moved to Moultrie once I got married. It would be wonderful if Dr. B's office could get a support group started. Nice to meet you and good luck.

ParaGirl · 12-13-2007, 08:33 PM

I cant wait for them to get a support group together. That would be great.

redd1733 · 12-18-2007, 09:18 PM

I live in Albany, GA and DR. B is doing my band on 12/26.

mooselll · 12-23-2007, 04:08 PM

I live in Alpharetta. I have been banded 8 days now. So far, so good. Down 13 pounds.:clap2:
