October 15, 201213 yr Fairly new to the county and very new to banding. Anyone nearby looking to connect/support?
November 6, 201213 yr I'm in Rockland but haven't gotten the surgery et. I'm attending my first seminar next week. Don't even know if my insurance will cover it (magnacare). They said to send in the predetermination first and they'll go from there. Whatever that means..
November 8, 201213 yr Author Whose your doctor? I had my surgery 12 days ago. I'd love to share this journey if you're interested! I went to dr. Pucci.
November 9, 201213 yr I'm looking at Dr. Rivera. Which Dr. Pucci did you go to? I believe there are three of them. I do, however, think that Dr. Ramon Rivera is the only doctor in-network for my insurance though. How are you feeling?
November 10, 201213 yr Author Dr. Ed. He has been fantastic. If you want to talk in person feel free to call me. 845.429.3303. Not an expert but would be glad to share my experience so far!
