Just getting started , on Long Island

[nancy104 0]

I just started last month and I am setting up all my Dr appointments for clearance. I have Aetna HMO , I called them and my plan chose to include the bariatric option in the coverage. I am working with the nutrionist , I don't know if they choose the 3 or 6 month diet. I see them at the end of August.

I am very excited to be getting the ball rolling !!:wink_smile:

Hi Nancy,

I too am on the island. I was banded by Dr. Geiss in Syosset on July 31st. Good luck to you.
