tskelli 1 Posted April 12, 2008 I'm also being banded by Dr. Antonetti on 5/13. Went to seminar on 3/3. I'm self-pay so it's moving pretty fast. Only slowdown is they're 6wks into surgery schedule. I'm on pre-op diet and wait list in hopes of being moved up!! Glad to hear that. I have been very pleased with Dr. Antonetti and the staff at Riverside. Keep in touch and much sucess on your journey!

TxArcher 2 Posted April 25, 2008 Support grp meets at lexington Hospital in Lexington SC...come join us!! is that in Columbia? How far away is that from Greenville? Are there any sup. groups in Greenville? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
neverB4 2 Posted April 25, 2008 My new date is on the 7th now....oh boy!!!! Lexington is right outside of Columbia. You would be coming in on 26 towards columbia, but then take 26 to Charleston. As soon as you do, the hosp exit is less than a mile. From greenville, it will take about 1 and 1/2 to 2hrs, depending on traffic. I don't know of any in Greenville.

katinafer 0 Posted May 20, 2008 Just wanted to jump on here to say hi. I'm new to the boards and have just began my lap band journey. I had a consult with my PCM May 13th, received a referral which was authorized for 4 visits with Dr. Tribble @ Palmetto Regional and attended the seminar May 19th. My next scheduled appointment isn't until June 23rd :wink2: but I can't wait. I'm just super excited about finally being able to lose this weight and keep it off. If anyone out there has and experiences with Tricare, I'd love to hear from you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
