Hi I was wondering if there was anyone on here from South Georgia.  I'm considering lap-band and would love to talk to someone from down here that's had it and find out who their surgeon was.  Thanks.

Hi Bailley, I am in Brunswick Georgia and not sure what part of the south you are in but if you are interested in finding two of the finest surgeons in south ga then here is where you need to go. Dr Kent and Dr Henderson are wonderful. There site is Georgia Coast Surgical. They are a center of excellence and our hospital is also. They have some kind of recognition from Blue Cross Blue Shield also. If you need anymore info just ask and good luck! PhyllisJ.

Thank you Phyllis, I live in Valdosta.  Who did your surgery and how many lap bands have they done so far?  I'm scared to death of this surgery but I'm scared not to have it as well.  Thanks for replying.

Hey Bailey, Well I live in Valdosta too but I haven't had WLS as of yet.  I am waiting for insurance approval and I am trying to get RNY.  My hubby is retired military so I have to use a DR covered by Tricare and the closest one is in Ocala FL.  I seen in the paper there is a DR in Albany that does the lapband.  Good luck!

Bailey, Dr Kent and Henderson do these type of surgeries several times a week. the office staff is the greatest. Please give them a call and I'm sure they can answer all your questions and if you could drive over for a seminar they have once a month then that is where you really could pick up some information. I am originally from Tifton and there is a Dr Davis that does bariatric surgery but do not know anything about him. Good luck

HI, I am new to the site but have started my research for the Lap band with Dr. Bagnato who is with Palmyra Surgical in Albany Georgia.  He has a website that you can check out www.weightlosssurgeryofalbany.com.  I beleive that Valdosta is approx. 90 miles away.  Also, he did the lapband surgery on my Neice in January of this year and she is within 30 pounds of her goal weight.  She followed his plan exactly and I feel that is the key to a sucessful plan. Good luck in your search.
