Congrades Turler, Just Wondering Why Your Surgery Is Scheduled So Far In Advance?

HI Jessica, I'm also from St. Louis,who is your doctor?

Thanks for the support guys, I'm really glad I found this forum, with so many success stories I now know I've made the right choice.

Greetings Mo.mom, I joined the forum today and am thrilled to hear you had surgery by Dr. De La Torre because I'm currently seeking the lapband at Du Paul with Dr. De La Torre also. I have been to a seminar,submitted my psychological eval, and my report from my primary Dr.along with blood work to the Dr. and hopefully it will be forwarded to my insc. co. on Monday. How did your pre-op. go and how long was it to have surgery once insc.approved you. JohnC

Hi, I,m new to the forum would like to introduce myself. I've been obese most of my life, I've lost in excess of 100 lbs. three times just to regain it plus extra. When I heard about the lapband I did a lot of research and figured it could be the tool I need to help me lose the weight and hopefully be able to keep it off. I am currently in the process of seeking authority from my insurance for the surgery. I'd like to know if there is any advice I need at this point, also does anyone have any information on Dr. Roger de la Torre form St. Louis. Thanks Johnc
