Hello fellow Hoosiers!!!! Is anyone else seeing surgeon Dr. James Bradley Ray for their Lap Band in Bloomington/Monroe County area? I am still in Insurance Pergatory at the Pre-Op stage right now. Made the decision (or rather finally agreed with my PCP that this was necessary) and got the referral in March 08. Saw Dr. Ray for first consultation in June 08. Six month PCP monitored diet, Psyc and nutritionist evaluation done. Insurance declined due to "PCP notes not specific enough". Can you believe that??!! It's almost as if the insurance company is waiting for my deductible to expire! Dr. Ray's staff is awesome. Very supportive. I love the support group. Can't wait to get this ball rolling already!!!!!

Anyone else out there with Dr. Ray farther along than me? Would love to hear about your experience.:thumbup:

Well I am 9 days away from real food ! Got any ideas on what to eat first??? Just for you, do not worrie the surgery is a breeze. Need someone to root you on I be here. Luck to you. Thumper
