lil miss scare all

Yep. There were more bypass people at that meeting in LA.. know why?? cuz Dr. Quilici favors bypass. even Rosalie kept pushing the bypass as well. I think its humorous how they say its " up to you . its your decision" , yet they obviously are pushing one over the other. lol I live further away than you do. I live in Claremont / Upland . They have a really good lap-band meeting out here where theres about 25 ppl or so and theyre ALL lap banders.

no . i dont mind the questions. keep em comin. =] I have Aetna Global PPO . and NO, they surprisingly didnt make me do the 6 month diet, which I was happy about. Made for a nice surprise approval =] Yes. I have gone to a couple support group meetings. I didnt really want to and thought it would be " lame", but I actually like it. Its really insprirational. You should go! Maybe if you would like to go sometime, I could meet you there and we can go together. I never have anyone to go with =/ Anyways. Let me know if you have any other questions or whatever. I'll be here.

I am scheduled for Feb.19th and will be starting my testing / bloodwork/ physical appointments this week.. Can anyone tell me what is all involved in that? particularly the physical ? I just want to know what to expect. Thank you in advance for any advice / info you can give me :w00t:

I am a patient of Dr. Quilici's. I am having my surgery in a few weeks on Feb.19. you might find that you have to keep on top of his office staff to keep things moving. Would you believe they never even told me i was approved? I found out when i received a letter in the mail from Aetna saying my surgery was approved. lol. It was a huge shock, because according to Dr.Quilici's office, they hadnt even submitted my information to the insurance yet. sigh.. lol.. You kinda need to keep close tabs on them =/ but other than that, Ive found the Dr. himself to be very nice. He did try to push me toward the gastric, but I am still going with the Lap Band.

I'm new here. this is only like my second post.. but Im having my surgery on February 19th at Cedar Sinai by Dr. Quilici in Los Angeles.. Im so excited. I cant even really believe its actually happening. It will only be or seem real when theyre wheeling me in to have it done. I start my pre-op stuff ( physical / bloodwork ) this week. can anyone tell me whats all involved in the physical??

My surgery date is on February 19th at Cedar Sinai in Los Angeles. Im so excited I can barely stand it !!!
