Hello fellow GA bandsters. I live in Kennesaw and work in Calhoun and had Dr. Ponce do my OR on 7-27-05. SO far so good, but no fill yet but I am eating a lot less. Just started on solids. I am looking forward to my 1 month visit on Thursday. So far I have lost 22 lbs. since my consult. Hope after a fill it picks up but as long as it keeps gong down I will be happy.
Good luck to you future bandsters.
Bonnie

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'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 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
Rhonda

| right back at you.
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.
