Hello Everyone,

I'm brand spanking new to everything. I'm still learning about Lap Band surgery.

My primary doctor has alrady given me clearence and now I need to start jumping over all the hurdles.

I'm in the middle of choosing a doctor at the moment. My profiles shows a doctor because she was my first choice and still is, but the insurance part got complicated.... she isn't covered by it.

Tomorrow I meet with another doctor who is... I'm hoping I like him so that I can get this ball rolling.

Hey Veena,

Welcome !! Good luck on your Journey. There will be lots of ups and downs, but it all works out.

The one thing I strongly recommend is .. RESEARCH, RESEARCH, RESEARCH. That's concerning Doctors, Procedures, Medical stuff, etc.

I am no expert, but know I am here if needed !!

Good luck again !!
Good Luck on your Journey !!

Tom

Hi! I am also new to OH! I am meeting with my surgeon next tuesday.  I also know Dr. Vaimakis and think she is great.  The surgeon I ended up chosing for my surgery is Dr. Trivedi.  He is in Paramus if you live anywhere near there.  He has a great pre-op and post-op program.  I would consider seeing him if you live in the area.  Although he is out of hackesack and not englewood/holy name. I dont know how set you are on a hospital.  Good luck with your journey.  Maybe we could talk some more since we are both at the same stage of the journey.  If you want to talk you can friend me and I'll give you my email.  Good luck!!!
