Hi i have not been here for about two week, I kind of took a break from the whole lapband scenario because i was overwhelmed with the holidays now I'm back on track and just found out my insurance approved my surgery. I will have it done in New York on Jan 12 2007. God willing ,at Montifiore Hospital in the Bronx. Anyway is there anybody here from Newyork City.:clap2:

congrats justine - do you have a date? I was just banded last thursday (5 days). where are you going to have the surgery and with which doc? Keep us posted.

What insurance do you have?

Congratulations!

Congrats on being approved, that is really exciting! To find other NYC people check the USA support forum, then look under New York. Keep us updated on your progress!

CONGRATS on the approval, the date and a NEW YOU in 2007!!!!!! How exciting

Justine, congratulations on your surgery. That is awesome. You will love your band.

I am so happy you are approved hip hip hooray

Congratulations!! I'm waiting for the okay from my insurance. I'll have my surgery through U-Mass in Worcester MA. Hopefully this will take place in Feb. I started attending meetings for this in April 06. Seems like a long time coming.

Hi kedasmom

What type of insurance do you have? I was wondering why they required such a long period of meetings. Im in the beginning stages in NH though.

HMO Blue but it is the hospital (weight center) that has you go to meetings, see a shrink, a nutri. to make sure you know what you are getting into. They also set you up with an exercise program. What part of NH?
