Hello everyone!

Just wanted to introduce myself....I had my consultation with Dr. Elliott here in Richmond this week. I was very pleased to find out I do indeed qualify for Lap Banding. I now have to complete the diet requirement my insurance demands then will move on to the next step....trying to get approval from the insurance company. I was offered a 6 month plan of which I will check i with my PCP once a month to log my progress or a more intensive 3 month program which I will check in every 2 weeks but may have to pay out of pocket. I would MUCH rather do the 3 month so I can get this show on the road. We'll see....once I find out the cost of the 3 mo. then I can move ahead! I'm ready for this lifestyle change....Nice to meet you guys! :confused:

Welcome, It's nice to have you. It can be a long journey but well worth it. I was a self pay and beleave it was the best thing I ever did for myself. anyway just wanted to welcome you.
