thanks for the warm welcomes. im sure i will be asking alot of questions. please be patient with me. so when they say that it takes a month for the authorization to go thru is that pretty accurate? i just want it to be over with, but i know.....good things come to those who wait. has anyone else been banded by scottsdale barriatric?
Congratulations!! I live in Chandler also and was banded on nov. 26th. Look forward to hearing updates on approval and set dates etc... welcome to the journey!! Andrea
Welcome! I was banded 9/19/05 by Dr. Blackstone @ Scottsdale Bariatrics. Started process in May, the whole staff is wonderful! Keep up a positive spirit and your approval will hopefully come through before you know it.
Good luck!

thanks for your support. i really liked dr blackstone, and when we went for our initial consult we met with dr. kohler, also very nice and informative.
Welcome Peggy!!!
Let me just tell you that Dr. Daniel Fang from St. Lukes hospital is the best surgeon in the world!!! My experience has been great!! And they got me approved and scheduled in 1 month!! Crazy I know, but true. They also have the best post-op training classes on eating, excersizing, and even a cooking class! It was great. I would reccomend that hospital and that surgeon.
Good luck on your approval and just remember that this site is one big LAP band family!!! ~Teresa
