Hi from New Jersey

Just to say hello to everyone. I was banded in Atlantic City, New Jersey by Dr. Onopchenko on Wednesday, May 24. Surgery went well, but had a hiatal hernia which Dr. O repaired at the same time as the band. I feel pretty good, but port incision is still quite sore. Im sure I'll be having lots of questions. This looks like a great place to find answers!

    Hi Andrea,

    Welcome to LBT! This is a great place to get answers. You should post an intro in the "May 2006 Band Crew" thread. There are almost 100 of us May Bandsters now. It's a good forum to meet people who are going through a similiar experience at the same time and compare notes.

    Again, welcome!

    Hi Andrea! I'm a North Jerseyan myself. Welcome!

    Always glad to see another Garden Stater joining the band. If you had insurance coverage for surgery, may I ask who your insurance carrier was and whether you had a hard time getting it covered?

    Hi, Alexandra..

    I'm from souhern NJ. I have Horizon Direct insurance and they were no problem at all. It took only a few days after all my testing was done to get an approval. The doctor's office took care of everything! did you have any problems?
