Hello everyone! I am new and have just started looking around a bit. Seems like really great site. I have my Pre-Op appointment on 10/17 to start the process and to pick the date. I am very excited to get the procedure done. My insurance company stated that my employeer had added a specific clause exempting any bariatric procedure so I will be getting it done private pay. Any Banders from Kansas? I am going to take about 2 weeks off from work since at times work can be very strenuous. I am nervous about having it done but I get nervous with any surgery. I hope to meet alot of you, make some friends, and to learn more about this new lifestyle I have chosen. Talk to you all soon!

Hi Smiletracy, I do have a surgical date, infact it is this thursday 11/8. I really like the staff there at the weight loss surgical center. I have to admit that I am a bit nervous but I am ready to get it done. I think that you will really like them.

The doctor I have chosen is at the weight los surgical center in Overland park, KS. He is Dr. Nigro. the total for the surgery, hospital, anesthesia, and a year of appointments is $17,500.00. I know that this is a lot of cash but I feel comfortable with this clinic and the doctors.
