hello all, got the call .....my ball is rolling too! went to the seminar a couple weeks ago took a bit of time to get several documentations ready to send with my consult letter. They called today consult is Dec 15th yippie have studied the wls for over 2 years and am choosing to go with lap band. I am going through Topeka tall grass Dr Berstien. my ins is bcbs of georgia...so far they say they pay as long as I meet requirement and I do no doubt about it. and I called my husbands employer and the policy will not change a letter next year. so I hope all goes well...I am scared a bit... I think of 150 things that will change for the better and 1 that is negetive and the 1 is the thing I hold on too....will keep working on that. has anyone had the lap band from Topeka? if so would love to hear from you. I read the board often first writing. well good luck to all of us. thanks for reading my post. happy holidays! sandy

Congratulations Sandy! That's fantastic news! I'm so excited for you! I didn't get my lapband from Dr. B but I have heard wonderful things about that practice and of her. You might visit the Lapband forum on here, because I know there are some bandsters there that could tell you more about their experiences with her. Again, congratulations and I can't wait to hear from you when you're on the losing side!! ~Tiffany

That is awesome I just got my consult date from Tallgrass Surgical for the lap-band as well. Mine will be on Dec. 5 with Dr. Hamilton. I was probably at the same seminar with you if you went on Nov.11. I will be atteding the 1 on Dec 9 to. I hope all goes well and maybe we can share our experiences together.
