  13. i can tell you i went to emerson hospital to there meeting 2 years ago i was not impressed, they want to just do surgery, believe me the doctors and staff at weight center are grest people, but yo u need to do all the tests or procedures before they agree to srgery
  14. i don/t think they would deny you unless there was a reason, they do test to make sure u qualify i agree, but they always have your best interest first , i had to go through psych evals,dieticians,physicals, and training ,physical fitness ,it is a great experience and now i amm ready to get banded,
