Katbad 30 Posted March 10, 2018 I’m in Woodbury. I finished all of my appts today. They will submit for insurance approval now. I’m going for a band revision to bypass. I’m going to Meadowbrook. Anyone have experience there? They have been very nice so far. Plan to have the surgery in June due to work and travel until then. Can’t wait! 2 Krista27 and clabelle2007 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

clabelle2007 6 Posted March 13, 2018 I’m having the bypass done. I have 1 dietitian visit left and the psych evaluation left. Who’s doing your psych? I am going to doctor Sidiqqi on floor 4. My last dietitian was with Lyndsey and the lady who is taking her place. She is really nice. What are both of you having done? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
