I am going to Lahey Clinic in Burlington and am scheduled for a August 14th surgery, if you have any questions or want to chat feel free to PM me! Talk soon!

Nancy, No I have aetna...they've been a little bit of pain to deal with so far, but hopefully the rest will be smooth sailing!

Congrats Nancy!! That is sooo exciting, I am counting the days until I get mine! It won't feel real until then.

knwitham replied to scotgrl75's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Here are a few that I asked: 1) How many of your surgeries have resulted in slippage or erosion. 2) How do I get intouch with someone after normal office hours if I have a question/problem 3) Where will my port be located 4) What is your general procedure concerning fills, how long between visits, who performs them etc. 5) What do you require for a stay afterwards -
oooo ME! I live in Peabody and work in Boston, I chose to go to Lahey mainly for convience factors, but now that I am in the program I am sooo happy with my decision. Let me know if you have any questions! Good Luck with everything, I'd love to hear about your experience!

knwitham replied to Lady Lap Band's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
Hey girl, so lahey had a cancelation and got me in last week for my psych/nutrion consult, i have aetna insurance so I have to do a 3 month pre-op diet, pam told me to expect early august for a surgery date. I have an appointment with dr.sillin on june 23rd, what should I expect? What did you go over on your first appointment with the dr? Hope all is well, its great to be able to talk to someone with the same surgeon! -
YAY! I'm so excited you still sound positive after that long day! I can't wait to hear all the details, maybe it'd be easier and more private if you emailed me. My email is Knwitham@gmail.com. I really can't wait to hear, and prepare myself for what to expect. I can't wait till we can go shopping, yipppeee! OMG 128 traffic is the WORST, somedays it can take us 30 min to get to work, and others 90mins. YUCK!

Hey Kathy aka Pretty Lady hehe! My name does start with K also, it's Kristen. I am so excited for you that your appointment is tomorrow, and i can't wait to hear EVERY detail of it...I am very nervous too, but am glad you will be able to forewarn me of everything to expect! It's a haul for me also, about a half hour, but I too will get the day of from work, woo-hoo! I told my boss about the possible process last week and she was completely supportive, thank god!! Hope you have a GREAT night, and try not to worry about tomorrow, you are right when you say "good things come to those who wait" xxoo

Hi pretty lady, don't worry about the pic your son took, it will be a great pre-op pic, and i'm sure it's not as bad as you say it is. I think we're all frustrated with the way we look right now. As for my colors, haha I had no idea what I was doing, so kept clicking different things! I hadn't heard about the May 26th meeting, what time is it at? It's not a seminar is it? Lilly pulitzer clothes are adaorable, but so expensive. The Filene's Basement near my work, back bay always has her stuff at least 50% off! I can't wait to just be able to shop in a regular section and not plus sizes! It was nice hearing from you, talk soon!
