I'm working on all the pre op paperwork before it's submitted to insurance for pre approval right now. Hope I can get surgery done by beginning of the year. Surgeon is in Richmond...anyone in the area that has had this done or working on it as well?

Hi Jen,

I live in Richmond and had the surgery done 12/16/09. BUT I went to mexico to get it done, insurance wouldnt pay and could not afford US prices. I have to go to Virginia Beach for my fills. Let me know if you have any questions, I am here.

Hello Everyone!

I am doing weight watchers for my 6mth preop diet hope to get approved in February!

How's it going for you? I hope you're approved! You may decide you can go without it if the WW works for you.
