Hello all July 2008 members! My name is Dawn and I got my date this morning for July 24, 2008 for my Lap Band surgery with Dr. Naim of Top Surgeons in Southern California. I am currently 222 lbs and my goal is a glorious 125...I have 97 lbs. to lose. My journey to this point has been long as my case was originally submitted to Aetna back in January and after two appeals I was approved last week.

I hope to get to know all of you and we can help each other get through this.

Hi Dawn,

Congratulations on getting approved!

For me, everything that is old is new again...LOL I am having my slipped Lapband removed and replaced on July 14th.
