Hello everyone!!!! My name is Vivienne and I am new to this website for like the 2nd or 3rd time. I have wanted to have this surgery for like 6 years but  have never had good insurance till now.  I just moved to CO from AZ after finishing school to be a surgical technician, and work at a hospital which offers great insurance.  Right in the benfits book it says it covers RNY. So I am going to the info meeting on Aug 28 at Penrose,  I cant wait to get the process started.

Thanks for the warm welcome!!! I have been "lurking" for a little while now and know there is a ton of information available here, and since I work in surgery, I have a pretty good understanding of the procedure, I just cant wait to get the b all rolling!!!  I even called the DR office today and they told me that depending on my ability to get whatever appts i need  done, I could possibly get surgery as soon as 2 months from now, and here I was thinking 6 months. WOW

Great to have you here in Colorado. Congratulations on finally being able to have a decent insurance policy. It fires me up when policies don't cover the insurance...it just doesn't make sense. Anyways! Hope your info meeting goes well. Remember there is a support group at Penrose to help however we can. Good luck with everything.

Hello all, I am new as well.  I am seriously considering the lapband and have my consult on Spet 26.  I am really excited and nervous all at the same time.  I too have been lurking around and just reading everyone elses post.  I am inspired by everyone and can't wait to start my journey! Kelli
