Has anyone heard anything good, bad or otherwise? Thanks!

I've never been so excited about seeing doctors before in my life!!! I saw my primary care doc last night and he's very happy with my decision. Whew. I was expecting a little bit of flak. My insurance needs a letter from him so I'll be picking that up today. Then this afternoon I have my psych eval! After tonight I have to wait until Sept. 18th when I have an appt. with the surgeon. I'm not able to schedule my nutrition appointment until after that. Once all that is in...everything gets submitted to my insurance and I wait.... (I've never been good at waiting) But... this is still an exciting time!

Hi! I'm actually in Ohio. But my husband is from Boston so we're huge Pats fan! <---- Hoping to weigh less than a football player soon! And thanks for the well wishes!

I went to several appointments there and really liked the doctors and nurses! One of my good friends had her band done there in May 06 and she raves about them! They have a support group that she's active in, and have been very team focused on her losses. My insurance doesn't cover CWLC or I'd be going there.

I'm very excited to have found this site! I'm starting the process of getting a Lap-Band. My informational session is on September 7th. I'm hoping that after that session I can have a surgery date within a month. I hope that's realistic! Is there a website that offers reviews of surgeons? The surgeon I'll probably be using is Dr. Macquire in Dayton, Ohio.

Hi Angela, I actually went though the entire process with CWLC and liked both Dr. Mobley and Dr. Osbourne. I agree... the fact that all they do is Lap Bands was a big point for me. One of my friends had hers done there in May 06 and she looks AMAZING! She's pretty active in their support groups and I know she looks forward to that time. But I found out that when my insurance changed over the summer that Lap Band is now covered! Unfortunately, they cover 0 of out of network providers. And the only in network providers are at the Valley. So I asked around and everyone seems to like and trust Dr. Macguire. I have my informational meeting in about a week. But am already starting getting my psych eval, and my physician's letter. I'm really hoping to have this done fairly quickly. How have you been feeling?
