Hi Everyone! I'm in the process of getting the Lapband. I have my first appointment with Dr. Lautz in Massachusetts on September 27th. That's the earliest appointment I could get, I've been waiting for a month now, another month and 1/2 to go. Hopefully Dr. Lautz thinks that I would be a good condidate. My PCP thinks so. I have no medical uses other than a thyroid problem and my bmi is 43. I call once a week to see if they have any earlier appointment due to cancellations. Every week they tell me know. I guess everyone wants to be thin! : How is everyone doing? Any comments on your lapband? Rosita

Wow, you'll have the surgery that soon after your consultation. I was told that it would be three months after consultation. I'm thinking surgery will be end of December or begining of January 2008.

Thanks! I'm so excited. I really haven't told anyone about it, except my kids. Michael doesn't want me to do it. I think he's afraid that something would happen to me.

I have HMO Blue New England...has anyone used this type of insurance for coverage. I'm just starting the process and want to know what I'm up against. I have schedule a visit with the surgeon for september 2007. I'm hope to get an appointment sooner.
