Hi i have not been here for about two week, I kind of took a break from the whole lapband scenario because i was overwhelmed with the holidays now I'm back on track and just found out my insurance approved my surgery. I will have it done in New York on Jan 12 2007. God willing ,at Montifiore Hospital in the Bronx. Anyway is there anybody here from Newyork City.:clap2:

Congratulations!! I'm waiting for the okay from my insurance. I'll have my surgery through U-Mass in Worcester MA. Hopefully this will take place in Feb. I started attending meetings for this in April 06. Seems like a long time coming.

Hi kedasmom

What type of insurance do you have? I was wondering why they required such a long period of meetings. Im in the beginning stages in NH though.

HMO Blue but it is the hospital (weight center) that has you go to meetings, see a shrink, a nutri. to make sure you know what you are getting into. They also set you up with an exercise program. What part of NH?

Nashua, right over the MA border
