Hello All and congrats to you! I am a fellow Long Island and am interested in getting this procedure possibly. I have been speaking about it for a good year now with plenty of talks but I am going to a local seminar out in Suffolk County to listen first. I am glad to see other Long Islanders on this though. I would like to follow your comments. Also wanted to know about any recommendations of any doctors also.

I will have to check out my insurance. From the lapband website I see Blue Cross but not Empire Blue Cross EPO. I guess I will see first but in the meantime Hello!!!!
