Hi..my name is Tracey and I am trying to get the Lap band. I am waiting on one more thing to get insurance approval and I hope it is approved quickly. I am so excited about this life changing event. I know I can do this and this is something I really want. I hope to make some new friends and I am always looking for advice and learning from other's experiences. Look forward to meeting everyone:clap2:

Hey there...not too far from you guys. I'm from Maryland and work in DC. Have you selected a surgeon yet? I highly recommend my surgeon if you have not. He's great. Good luck on your journey and welcome to LBT.

I am going to be seeing Dr Terracina in Newport News. They are submitting my case to my insurance today so I am keeping my fingers crossed and hoping for the best. I hope that I hear something back soon.

Good luck with the insurance! I checked the local support groups for Maryland, but it seems a MD/DC/VA group for this area would have more folks. Anyone know if one already exists?:)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
