I'm A Newbie!

Hello hello all!

I'm Melissa, 23 & from Baltimore County. I had my FIRST consult with Dr. Schweitzer last week and by the sounds of it, from what he said, it will be 4-6 wks before I hear from my insurance company of the go-ahead, but in the mean time to make appts. w/his diet & psych docs. Which I am doing.

I have United Health Care for my insurance... has anyone had any experience w/this insurance and lapband? Just curious how it went.

Also I'm curious about other experiences w/Schwietzer.

I also went to the bayview support group. Regretfully I don't know if I'll be able to do it every month because of my college schedule. Are there any other lapband support groups in the baltimore area that meet on Mon, Wed, or Fri?

Wish everyone well!

Melissa

Welcome Melissa,

I too have United Healthcare. I had no problems they paid for my surgery 100%. Good luck to you.

Hi Melissa,

Good luck with your surgery! This is the place to be... we love meeting new bandsters-to-be. Welcome to the start of your new, healthier life!

I wish I could be of some assistance, but I went with Dr. Singh and had a different insurance. Let me know if you have any questions though!
