No I didn't know about Lahman when I had surgery, I used a doctor downtown, he is now in CA. I was treated poorly so I went looking for a new doctor, and found Lahman. The whole staff there is great. I live in Honeytree, near R.C. Hill. ~Mandy

Hey Lala,

I'm from Channahon also and am to be banded by Dr. Lahmann in the near future, I hope. A couple of questions on the time it took from the first seminar until the surgery: I went to the mid-November seminar and had my first consult with Dr. Lahmann December 1st. I've also completed psyche testing, ekg, and stress test so far and go for pulmonology testing later this week. I always take the first available appointments to speed up the process but what's your best guess for a surgery date if all tests come back normal. What else is left after dietician, exercise physiologist and nurse practitioner? My insurance final approval should be very soon also.

My first post!!!

Randy

After ins approval, you should be set to go. I believe they do a pre-op diet, and the surgery. I would say within the month if your and his schedual allow. ~Mandy

hello all-

happy new year! are we still planning a meeting?

[piercedqt78 658]

How is lunch on sat the 13th or sun the 14th for everyone? If we can get a date nailed down finding a location is simple. ~Mandy

[melissa0915 0]

Either the 13th of 14th works for me

[piercedqt78 658]

Let's say the 13th? lunch around 12:30? What's a good location? ~Mandy

[melissa0915 0]

anywhere is fine with me. I live in the city but can drive to the burbs. I can't remember where everyone lives?

[piercedqt78 658]

I'm west of the city, Romeoville, just off I55 and Rt 53. I too am willing to travel~Mandy

Sweetviolet- I wear 3X/4X and would LOVE them!! I can spare you AT LEAST the expense of driving them to me by picking them up! That would be awesome.

Randy, I agree with piercedQT- I would think that it would take about a month after everything is approved to be scheduled. And yes, there is a pre-op diet, and I'm not going to lie- it's a KILLER! I'm doing the very best I can, but haven't followed it to the letter.

I am pretty sure that I can do lunch on the 13th! I live pretty west and am willing to travel further east! I live in DeKalb...is Schaumburg central for most people or Naperville..? just some larger towns that may work...?

[piercedqt78 658]

Either place is fine with me, I am not far from Naperville. Does that sound good to everyone? ~Mandy
