Well what exactly have you done so far?

Have you found out if your Ins. will pay?

Can you self pay if you have to?

If you're talking about the seminar that was supposed to be last night at St. johns it was the wrong date. I went last night no one from St Johns showed. My wife called today and said it is next Wednesday evening same time.

I would look for a seminar nearby and call the surgeon that sponsors it and ask if you need to register in advance.

Then I would call my ins. co and ask them if WLS is a covered procedure and what their requirements are.

I will be private pay.

i called about the seminar and they are booked for this one. so i'm down for the April 21st seminar. i was so excited to get this going, i'm not very patent to wait for things. when i'm ready, i'm ready. Also, i will be private pay, do they have a payment plan or do we find our own financing else where. i have been to a seminar before with my mom, she has the by-pass. but they said i would need to come to Dr. Edwards. There is a seminar in Branson on the 5th of April. And after the seminar what are the other steps and how long til i could have the lap-band.
