This forum is great...I love talking to people who have actually had the surgery before. I am atleast enrolled in the program now, after paying $750!!!

What about the GB patients scared her? Do you know?

Thank you so much for your sincere answers they are so very very helpful! Congrats on all of your weight loss!

I am meeting with my surgeon on Tuesday! I am so excited! What should I expect? Tests? Meeting with a nutritionist? What do you think!?

Is anyone from Western Mass? I am going to the seminar in Pittsfield Mass tomorrow with Lederman and Fanelli. The surgery would be at Berkshire Medical Center!

Hi everyone, I have a question. I have decided to get banded and I'm going to the seminar tomorrow night. My question is: How long after your consultation did the doctor schedule your surgery. I have BCBSNE, my primary has done a referral and the insurance stuff. The insurance doesnt have a 6 month diet period it will just pay because I have a BMI over 40. So I was just wondering how long you think I might have to wait for the surgery after my consultation. I am just so excited!! Thanks!

Good luck to you!

Thanks so much I am so so ready and soooo excited!

Insurance will be paying for it. I have talked to the insurance company already but haven't seen the doc yet to start approval. My insurance is really excellent insurance that covers bariatric surgery. I hope they approve me in 48 hours!
