Hi. I live in Maryland and am scheduled to have my lapband at George Washington Hospital on 4/30/2007 with Dr. Frederick Brody. I think he's great and I have talked to someone else who had him and they loved him.

Thanks for the welcome. I do feel very luck about the Insurance company. Prior to my paperwork being submitted, I already did everything...including a sleep study, 6 months of a doctor supervised weight loss program, blood work, EKG, psych eval., etc. I just expected them to come back and at least want something else. I cried when they called. I just love my surgeon. He's the best. I am so glad that I found this site tonight...I know that you guys are going to help me through some tough times.:nervous

Hello in Maryland. I also live in Maryland. I just got approved today and I'm scheduled for surgery on 4/30/07. I can't wait. Who was your surgeon?

Well...I got the call today from my surgeon's office. I have been approved by the Insurance Company. I can't believe it...I thought I would have a real fight. I am scheduled for surgery on 4/30/07. I go to the office on 4/10/07 to receive my liquid diet. I have so many different emotions right now. I'm happy, excited, scared, anxious, nervous, etc. I think right now my biggest fear is doing the liquid diet (Optifast). Did anyone else have a real problem with it? I look forward to talking to many of you while I go through this journey. :cry
