Congrats on your Lapband surgery. I'm schedule for 5/26/10 at West Penn Dr Urbandt is the doctor also. How was your experience?

Congrats! I'm also a patient of Dr. Urbandt. I was scheduled to be banded in Dec 09, but I was not ready. Hoping to have it done in June. Good lucK!!!!!

HI My insurance papers were sent in December 1st and I received my approval letter 12/9/09, scheduled for surgery 12/16/09. However, my surgery was cancelled because I found out 12/15/09 (the day before surgery) that I needed to pay a liability co payment of 900.00 before the lapband could be performed. I wish I had known this when I started the process in June.

Hi December Bandster, I'm schedule to banded on 12/4/09! Was approved by my insurance company today! Nervous and excited all at the same time.

Thank you. I got my approval letter today from my insurance company so I guess I'm on my way.

Hello my name is Wanda. I actually started this journey 4 years ago. Became serious about surgery 6 months ago. Scheduled to be banded on 12/16/09. A little scared but I am ready.
