#10 on the lap band list!
i don't know if there is anyone out there to read this, but.....i called Dr B's office to see where I am on the waiting list. I am tenth on the list of people who want lapband and have not had their consult. This means that i am likely going to get THE call in October or December this year!!! Wooo! Hooo!
No I has was not approved when the rules changed in February. I suppose that my placement on the list is based on the initial referral date to Dr B in 2004. I was waiting to see the endocrinologist all that time. I have not been through the info session and testing, so I am sure there are more than 10 ahead of my for the surgery, but only 9 ahead of me for the info session.
