Hi I'm from elmont and I have a consultation with Dr. Geiss.

Hey How's everything going? I still haven't got my insuarnce card?? Did you locate a MD.

I don't know when I'm having the surgery I am going through all the pre surgical testing but i hopr before the end of the year. I had a set back because i lost my job and insurance so I have to start all over again with the new insurance medicaid. I don't know If you close Health Plus when you applied for medicaid but it's better to pick United Health Care or HIP ad managed care because they have many bariatric surgeons who accept them.

GIRL!!! I'm waiting for my insurance card too. I have HIP medicaid as far as providers you have to go onto the Health Plus website and look up participating hospitals and providers for bariatric surgery. I am getting my surgery dome by Dr.Nishamura South Nassau Hospital (LI).

Hi I want to have lap band surgery so bad!!! In 2007 I went through all the pre-surgical requirements then chickened out. A few years later and I'm bigger than ever. I am very unhappy being this weight (i'm 295). And it has begun to affect my health. I have a MD appnt with my primary tomorrow and on thursday an appnt with the baraiatric surgeon to begin my journey. I would like to make some friends here some that have been through the surgery and those who will be having the surgery. Cynella :eek:

Hi I'm Cynthia and I am looking into having lap band surgery. I am 289 pnds and miserable because of my weight. I also am scared because of the serious history of Diabetes and High Blood Pressure in my family. I went through all the preliminary test last year and chickened out. But now I am ready just need to talk to someone who understands
