Newby Here!

Hello to all! Newby here - waiting on insurance approval from Tricare. Very happy to have found this site. I live VERY rurally in PA so I do not have the luxury of a local support group and this is the next best thing! I am looking for pre-surgery advice.:thumbup:

Hi Sherid, welcome to lapbandtalk. I totally "feel your pain". I live in a very rual part of Texas (although I'm lucky to have a support group about 45 miles away). This site is a good 2nd option. There is a ton of info to be shared, posts to read, and people to chat with. Glad to have you!

Hello, and welcome!

Just want to add on to what Plain said. There really are lots of nice, supportive people here, so I hope you keep posting and let us know when you get approved

Debbie.

Keep coming back and read everything. That is what I have done and I have learned alot. Read all the different sites. I usually go to "new posts" and go from there. The Chat room is good also if you have any questions. Watch out though sometimes the people can get grumpy in there.

Good luck to you and like I said keep coming back and read everything!
