  1. Hi...I am also going through Dr. Laport's office. How did you like the experience with their office...from start to finish? I had my first consult on 5/29. Did my pshych evaluation last saturday and the dr talk this last monday. Do you by chance have Health Net/Talbert MG? I'm just wondering if Talbert is going to make me do the 6mo died first.

    Thanks

  2. I just had my first consultation. I am trying to schedule all my required classes to get the ball rolling. I was confused about the Psych evaluation so I called the insurance verifier. She proceeds to tell me that my medical group has been denying people left and right for the lap band. I was so upset because my hopes for the procedure were so high. Is this normal? Am I going to have a hard time getting this approved? My BMI is 39.4. I should qualify with flying colors. Please help.
  3. can you answer a few questions. I just had my first consultation on 5/29/09. I am in the process of doing all my required classes. One problem. I am hearing that my medical group has been denying cases left and right. My high hopes of getting this done are kind of sinking now. I guess I have to see a nutritionist through my medical group and then one through the clinic to go over eating habits once banded. Is this a normal process? I feel like it is going to take forever. The other problem I have is getting a pshych that is covered to take the evaluation. They want to charge me $175 for the report. Help.

     

    Thank you
