X-Posted from Lapband Forum

I am just getting started on the process with the Sacred Heart Bariatric Center.

Application for services:

Faxed 1/13/09.  Call in the afternoon and the lady said get your referral from your doctor.

Called left a message for doc.  Referral given 1/14/09.

First appointment:   2/5/09

I am not sure what to expect at this first appointment.

She said it will take about 3 hours and we start out in a group.

Did anyone else start that way?

Not sure of the Sacred Heart process as I had my surgery in Portland. 

I can only give you answers to your questions about the band. 

Best of luck on your weight loss journey..............it is definitely worth it.
