Hi WantingHealth!

I too am in Maryland and I went to Dr. Longs' seminar tonight. very informative and she seems like a great doctor. also seems like she's a no nonsense kind of gal which is nice. she's very personable in my opinion and I can't wait to get a consultation in with her

the seminar was at Holy Cross (which happens to be my preferred hospital choice)

the seminar is informative to the point where she will straight up tell folks that if you don't exercise and eat properly, you will not see results and she can't emphasize that enough. she will stay til every question is asked and no question is off limits for her.

for the consultation though she did tell us that there will be a fee of $450 which covers the time b/c they can be anywhere from 45 mins til an hour or more and it covers education and nutrition. she said she had to start it last year because folks would make appts, and then not show up so she had an open slot of an hour left with no patients to see so she said she needed to charge that fee

she basically accepts most insurances and she will tell you how long each has a period of waiting approval (like 3 or 6 months)

if ya need any support or just wanna chat, I'm here!

I'm calling tomorrow to schedule a consultation. good luck!

Thanks reverie for making me feel welcome.

Bry thank you for the information. It looks like we are starting our journy around the same time. Maybe down the line if we have questions we could ask each other. See you around the boards.

Hi there and welcome. I am from Maryland too but I had my surgery at GW Hospital in Washington, DC by Dr. Fred Brody. I am 3 1/2 years out and am feeling great.

Good luck to all of you guys. We should plan a Maryland lapband get together sometime.

If you have any questions or anything, don't hesitate to ask and I'll do my best to answer them for you. Good luck!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
