Hey everyone, I have read people's post but never posted, I am happy to say that i have made an appt with Dr. Kwon of port jervis (lap-band), However its not offically an appt yet. I have to attend a seminar about the surgery so after that is completed then they will set up appts for my pre-testing and how to get approval from the insurance. I am nervous but excited. I have been back and forth on whether this is right for me and i believe i have made the right choice, i look forward to chatting with everyone. Thanks so much for listening, its appreciated.
