Sacramento Area

Hi, I was just wondering if there are any other folks from the Sacramento area using this site?

I am hoping for Lap Band and trying to work through the proper channels so that my insurance might pay for it... if not, then I will consider going to Mexico.

Right now, I am with MedClinic and they contract with the Sacramento Bariatric Clinic. Has anyone had surgery there?

Thanks,

Sassaay

    Hey rdm, I hope this next 6 months flies for you! Since you've gone thru this a couple years ago, you know what to expect. I look forward to hearing about your progress. My appt. is at 3:30 on Wednesday and it is a one on one. I did my group one on 3/19. There is probably a group meeting earlier that you'll be attending. Keep me posted! :0)
