    Got my Orientation appt.!!

    Hi, I had my orentitation on june 19th.. it went over the 4 surgerys that they do and one of the dr.s lead it up and he was very helpful and answered as many questions as anyone had. and i filled out all my paper work and they said that they would call in a few days for my firls appt... but i did not get the call... after 2 weeks of waiting i finially called them and they were missing some paper work that i did not get... they mailed it to me.. but that was the delay and i was not happy... so make sure if they say they will call you, do not wait more then a few days... then call them and make sure you have all your paper work in. that is what delayed me and i also had to call back for my first internest appt. i was not happy.. i finially got the appt for august 12th, but was hopeing i would get in sooner.. i have been calling each week to see if there is a cancelation, but summer is their busy time and they donot get many cancellations. I am not saying this will happen to you, but do not wait as long as i did to find out i was still missing paper work... (i was never told that. i had to find out myself). it should not take more then a few days for them to get back with you for your internest appt... good luck and enjoy your orentation.. it is very informative....
  7. Hi everyone,

     

    i am new to this as many others are. i have been to the chat room several times and have been serching for about a month now on information about the band. I have made a decision to have it done and i have many friends that support me with this. but i am probably like every one else and want to have it done now.. but i am going thru the processing. i had the seminar already and filled out all the paper work and just waiting for my first appt . I did get a bit fustrated with the information meeting.. I found out that i will have to pay alot after ins... and not sure i can do it. but one of the other surgerys is almost half of the out of pocket cost as the band.. it is the stitching of the stomache.. so i am not sure what to have done now... I do know i have to have ins pay for it cause i can not self pay. guess i will have to play the waiting game like everyone else...i hate this game.... Hope to hear from others with the support to keep going and not give up...
