Birmingham Banders?

I am having Lap band with advance surgical weight loss Dr Tulliotus more then likely Mid Jan. Anyone else out there used this office? I go for my pre op classes with my nut, fitness instructor, and mental health advisor on the 29th.. I have met with Dr T and he seems wonderful...

I am using Dr. Andrew DeWitt, at Princeton. My 6 month diet will be finished up next month, so hopefully the end of January or the beginning of February I'll be able to have mine. Where is Dr. T at?

He is at Trinity Medical center. Really nervous!! I have to do the same thing go for 7 months instead of six since the first did not count. I will have my last apt dec. 30th and that afternoon I should be able to submit for approval. My nurse in Dr. T's office said since I had blue cross blue sheild it should only take 15 mins to get approved. After that I will have a surgery date she said mid to late jan!

That's how mine is, I should've said 7 month. My initial visit was in July so January 27th-ish will be the end of my actual 6 months. I'm really excited about it. I've got BCBS too. Just hoping everything works out for me. I had to do the seminar, and visit with the nutritionist and do a psych eval (if you aren't depressed when you go in, you will be when you leave!). What bout you? Had to jump through many hoops?
