Hi everyone! My name is Nicole, and I'm on the road to Lap Band surgery. :shades_smile: I just went to a seminar yesterday in New Jersey with Dr. Abkin and Dr. Bertha. I'm going to my first appointment with Dr. Bertha on April 23. I have Oxford insurance, and they will cover it if you have a BMI on 40+. I'm so excited about this, but I do have my concerns, of course. :success1: I look forward to chatting with you all and sharing my experience.

Hi Nicole, we are so glad you have joined us. Let us know how things are progressing for you. And, of course, if you have any questions just give us a holler, we are happy to help.

Thank you very much. I love forums. hehehe :thumbdown:

Hi Nicole! Congrats!!! I'm sure this will be the best decision you've ever made - so far it has been for me (just banded on march 4th of this year)!

I too am new to Lapland. I am impatiently awaiting insurance approval. I am so excited I can't stand it. Maybe we'll be banded around the same time. It would be neat to compare notes. Anyway, best of luck to you!!!

I am awaiting insurance approval also!! I am very excited and nervous from WAITING!!! I hope my family can tolerate me until I get my approval!!!
