Ok everyone it looks like the majority of people can get together on Sunday June 11 lets say 2:00 at the Pic on Route 9 in Worcester.

I received a letter from my insurance company yesterday and the said that the lap band was not covered under my insurance. But before I started this whole process I called them and asked them and they said yes why would they pay for all the visits to dr and phys. and nutritional appointments if it is not covered? I am so upset because I can not do this on my own the weight loss I have tried and failed the only thing is I hope that the doctors office Dr. Fiallo's office knows of a way around this. I do not know who to call the insurance company or the Dr's office.

Oh well I hope to see everyone at the Pic on June 11 at 2

Email me and let me know if you are a yes or no so I can at least get a head count

Melissa, Your surgeons office probably received the same letter. Start by calling the surgeon's office because his staff knows they need to call your insurance and find out exactly what requirements were not met and they'll meet them. If its due because of exculsions to your policy from the employer they'll let you know that.
