Hi! I'm new from NY too - where abouts are you? I am in Long Island, and hope to get banded by Dr. Geiss in Syosset. This forum is amazing - the amount of advice and experience is invaluable!

pixieinyourpocket - I sure hope it doesnt take me a year to get the band, I am not certain I would be willing to wait that long. I'm very inspired by you and the beginning of your journey. Please keep us updated! XxMariposaxX - I too noticed the staff can be quite finicky - I only called to schedule an initial consultation, but the woman I spoke to was very rushed - to put it nicely. I am not going to let it change my mind about working with Dr. Geiss, as I have read many positive reviews about him, and he seems to be the most experienced physician I've come accross. I am attending the free seminar on December 8th at the North Ritz Club in Syosset. Will you be attending?

Hi! I have just started out on this new part of my life. I have not even met Dr. Geiss yet - I have registered for the seminar on December 8th. I have made my first appointment to meet Dr. Geiss for Jan 12th - the earliest appointment available! May I ask if you have insurence? If so, what type? How long did it take you from the time you first met Dr. Geiss to the time your surgery could be scheduled? I have already done a 6 month medically supervised weight loss with my primary care physician, but that was nearly a year ago. Do you know if a previous weight loss attempt will count towards any requirments of medically supervised weight loss prerequisites?
