I had my surgery at Albany Med, they have strict rules but I love them!.

Good luck to everyone who was or is about to be banded, I wouldn't change it for anything

well now I'm pretty bummed. Have to wait 6 mos due to the insurance. I know others have been through the same process. Doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Guess theres nothing to do but wait

I'm in Watkins Glen. I haven't been banded yet. Have done a lot of the preliminary stuff. Dr. Moon said that I have to lose 30 pounds before he will submit it to insurance. Down 20--10 to go! I can lose weight but can never keep it off. That's why I want the band.

I'm afraid that my insurance company won't approve me until I do the 6 month supervised diet. My PCP wrote a letter with weights from my appointment and said I was on a calorie restricted diet, but I don't know if that will do the trick.

I researched the band for so long, and now that I made up my mind, I want it NOW!
