So did you ever find out what the big emergency was that kept her from scheduling you Fri? Just curious. The local surgery center near me seems to have the same set-up you are facing with the psych eval, etc. You will probably have a nutritionist appt regularly and other pre-op and post-op stuff...lots of hoops to jump through and documentation to provide. Whatever it takes, I say! I am not banded yet and I am self-pay (my insurance does not cover Lap Bands) so I started looking into going to Mexico. I think it's a good option for me.
Thanks for your intro and good luck! Keep us posted on your progress. You Go Girl!
