anyone in Jax?
Yes, I had Dr. Shariat! He is FANTASTIC!!!! He does prefer the Vertical Banded Gastroplasty (VBG)... that is what I had done. I had my surgery on April 21, 2004 I went into surgery weighing 415 lbs and I am now at 257. I've lost 158 lbs. I wouldnt change my decision to have this surgery. It is less invasive and just over all easier on your body as a whole. If you would like to talk with me... call Dr. Shariat's office and ask for my phone number. They will gladly give it to you and I'd be happy to talk with you.
My name is Lisa Downs.
I hope you call if you have questions!
