I am also from the Pittsburgh area and going to Magee's for my surgery. I have my informational session on March 24th in Cranberry Township. I am ready for this journey. I started it back in 2004 with Magee's to have the gastric bypass done. Then my insurance had changed and wouldn't cover it. I switched jobs in 2005, and just recently found out that the insurance we have here does cover it. I never gave up my dreams, just has taken awhile to get there. The only thing that changed was going from the gastric bypass to having the lapband done. And this time it will happen for me. As far as the PREP program, never heard of it before. Good luck on your journey!

Hi, I am new here, and just looking for support along the way. I go to my informational meeting on March 24th here. I am going to have my surgery at Magee's Woman's Hospital in Pittsburgh. I had gone thru all the testing and so forth about 5 yrs ago for the Gastric Bypass. At that time during the testings and all, I found out that I had more health conditions to deal with, along with my health insurance changing and all. I have been reading all the info, and reading all the posts here, and there is alot of good info to absorb from all of you. I also have been doing alot of other research on this. I know this is what I want, and I am happy that I have my primary care doc in my corner as well. I am just asking for some moral support to see me thru this. Thanks in advance, Terri
