thanks for the warm welcomes. im sure i will be asking alot of questions. please be patient with me. so when they say that it takes a month for the authorization to go thru is that pretty accurate? i just want it to be over with, but i know.....good things come to those who wait. has anyone else been banded by scottsdale barriatric?

Welcome! I was banded 9/19/05 by Dr. Blackstone @ Scottsdale Bariatrics. Started process in May, the whole staff is wonderful! Keep up a positive spirit and your approval will hopefully come through before you know it.

Good luck!

Welcome Peggy!!!

Let me just tell you that Dr. Daniel Fang from St. Lukes hospital is the best surgeon in the world!!! My experience has been great!! And they got me approved and scheduled in 1 month!! Crazy I know, but true. They also have the best post-op training classes on eating, excersizing, and even a cooking class! It was great. I would reccomend that hospital and that surgeon.

Good luck on your approval and just remember that this site is one big LAP band family!!! ~Teresa

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
