Hi everyone! I am hoping and praying i get the lapband. I have been to every doctor on the planet already and i am just waiting for the dr consultation so i can summit to insurance (qualcare) and set a surgery date. Any helpful words are wellcome because i am sooo nervous and excited and dont want to wait any longer!

Hi there, I'm from NJ too. I had the surgery over a year ago, what doctors have you gone to?

i am using drs at humc how bout u?

I used Dr. Borao out of Monmouth Medical Center in Long Branch. I can't say enough about their program and the team they have working there.

igr1017..... OMG you are the first person I have seen on this site that has used Dr. Borao. My surgery is scheduled for November 24th and Dr. Borao is my surgeon. I have gone to a couple of the support meetings and their program is very well run. You're a year out, how have you done so far? Any advice to offer? I am so looking forward to this. Where i Jersey are you? I'm in west long branch....... :thumbup:

Are you nervous? I live in Freehold.
