Hi..my name is Tracey and I am trying to get the Lap band. I am waiting on one more thing to get insurance approval and I hope it is approved quickly. I am so excited about this life changing event. I know I can do this and this is something I really want. I hope to make some new friends and I am always looking for advice and learning from other's experiences. Look forward to meeting everyone:clap2:

:becky:Hello there!.

I'm from VA too..the nothern part...and I just wanted to say hi!

I'm really in the fist stages of the journey. Still doing the research. I hope you get the ins. approval quickly! Good luck with everything!

Nice to meet a fellow virginian! :mad:

Hey there...not too far from you guys. I'm from Maryland and work in DC. Have you selected a surgeon yet? I highly recommend my surgeon if you have not. He's great. Good luck on your journey and welcome to LBT.

Hi mumof2boys,

I see you went to Dr. Brody @ GW. I have an appointment there next month. I hear nothing but good reviews about him!

Thanks!

I am going to be seeing Dr Terracina in Newport News. They are submitting my case to my insurance today so I am keeping my fingers crossed and hoping for the best. I hope that I hear something back soon.

Hi, I am new to this board and I live in No Virginia. Good luck with your surgery. A support board is a must with lap band surgery, so welcome.

Good luck with the insurance! I checked the local support groups for Maryland, but it seems a MD/DC/VA group for this area would have more folks. Anyone know if one already exists?
