RKidder 0 Posted June 27, 2006 Went to Portsmouth and attended the seminar on 6/15. Hubby came with me - very supportive! I brought the application home and competed it and sent last week. Received criteria in the mail from my insurance company - looks like I meet the criteria... Waiting for my PCP and Endocrinologist to write letters of medical necessity. Can't wait to get this "show on the road"! Really would like to have lap-banding in the fall. We'll see. Working on losing the first 10 lbs. prior to surgery. (Required by Bariatric program to lose 10% of the number of pounds needed to lose, prior to surgery. This is to show your commitment...) Prayers welcome....

Born To Loose 0 Posted June 27, 2006 Hi...I was at last night's meeting, too. It seems like a great group of both physicians/medical care workers, but the people in the group. I feel comfortable that I've made the right decision. I've completed the application and want to get the process started, too. Best wishes and I hope to run into you!
