I'm from CT as well. I've relocated for the time being to RI for school but everything is still back in CT, including my surgeon. I was banded yesterday morning (9.28.10) and so far so good. How about yourself?

just awaiting my first consult but the nutritionsit says ill prolly be able to get banded in nov which is exciting!! what doctor are you using and how has it been so far!

I am not too far away. In Southern NH, just above the MA line. Will be having my surgery in MA..

Hopefully in 3 weeks.

I used Dr. Ehrlich out of Trumbull, he's amazing. He worked with me over the past year to get me to where I am and I couldn't be happier. I had some health concerns which required another surgery before I was able to get the lap band done but he stuck by me through out it and he's the reason I am where I am today. Best of luck to you! :thumbup:

Hi, I'm from Connecticut, too--the Hartford area. I'm pre-band and going to have it done by Dr. Papasavas at Hartford Hospital. I have Aetna insurance, which requires jumping through some hoops. I have finally finished all of the requirements (process stared on July 27th) and have an appointment with the surgeon's office on Wednesday the 6th to go over everything. After that, they will submit everything for insurance approval, and once they get that, I'll schedule a pre-op appointment with the surgeon. At that appointment, the surgery date will be scheduled. I'm hoping to be banded before the end of the year.

Welcome!
