I have BC/BS. Thanks! Gilta

I know this has been probably asked about a million times, but I am just starting on my journey. I went to the information session this week. This is the 2nd one I went to. The first one I was not ready to move forward. I was not certain if this was the way to go for me. Well I am ready to move forward now since I have been diagnosed with High BP. I am having my MD fill out my paperwork today. They said that it can take "awhile" to get to me with an answer. What does that mean? She told me they have seen up to 3 months. Does this sound right? Thanks! Gilta

I just went to it today too! What did you think?

Has anyone had any experience with any MDs in Rochester NY? I am scheduled for their information session with Dr. O'Malley and Dr. Moss. Any experience or suggestions? I am really hoping that insurance covers the lapband. I cannot afford it out of pocket. I am at the 40 BMI but I don't have any other issues, yet. I do have back, hip and joint pain but nothing that is arthritis. My BP and cholesterol levels are fine. I have no diabetes issues either. Any suggestions? Thanks! gilta

I am near Rochester. Glad to know someone is close by!

I am upstate NY - you?

Hi, I am starting my path to the lap band procedure. I sat through a seminar last November and decided to wait a bit. I am going to another seminar in December and plan to move forward with the procedure. Any suggestions or words of wisdom? Thanks! Gilta

Hi - I am considering lap-band surgery, but I am not sure about the cost. I have BC/BS PPO in NY. I don't know where to begin. Anyone have any ideas/suggestions on getting started? Thanks! Gilta
