:eek:Hey everyone! Finally pepole from places I know. I am a Staten Islander who just faxed all my paper work to Dr. Mekura at Memomidies in Brooklyn. I am finished with all my dr. visits and pretesting, just waiting to see what GHI say. They denied me in the summer because I didn't have 6 months of progress notes. Now I've given them everything they need and I am hoping they respond quickly. Has anyone had lapband and done through GHI ? How long did you wait for approval and then time line till surgery? I am so excited and nervous.........
I don't know how to put all the symboyls and stuff yet. The week I was handing in all my paperwork I was in the ER with diverticulitis reall bad (first time). I'm freaking because the medicine is giving me diareah and I'm losing weight cause nothing is staying in my stomach. I hope its not a problem. I'm having a colonoscopy on the 27th. Keep fingers crossed I can have this surgery.
