Thanks for asking these questions! I'm new here too. Going to my first consult on Fri. After reading about all the PB'ing, Sliming and Gas....I am quite worried! I keep envisioning myself at my desk at work sliming or burping. Not good...I am on the phone all day. :thumbup:

Hello Everyone I just made the decision yesterday to go for the band! I am very excited and I DON'T want to wait! :thumbup: My question is... Since I have PPO insurance (UHC Choice Plus) I am able to avoid the 6 months of nutrition classes, etc... What is the typical time frame between the first consult and the actual procedure? I know every doctor and situation is diff...Just looking for general time frames. Edited to add: My initial consult is May 23rd in San Diego, CA (http://www.lajollasurgical.com/) I will attend the seminar on June 3rd.
