I had surgery at NY Methodist in Park Slope Brooklyn.. just watching what I eat bc its easy to eat non healthy food. I try to prepare all of my meals to prevent a possible bad food choice.

Hello HotButter Fly. I was told that NYU is the best place to get the lap band. How are you feeling? Thanks

I would have to AGREE. I'm feeling like a million bucks with only 37 pounds lost. Imagine when I'm up to 50, 60....!!!!! I'm on the job hunt, so that's a little depressing. Where are YOU in your journey?

Same thing happened to ME with Bellevue Hospital. I did all my requirements and a week before my scheduled surgery they called and said my insurance doesn't cover that hospital. The Doctor called me personally to apologize and said he'd call his colleague (Dr. Ren) and asked her to expedite my process. Two weeks later I was BANDed.
