Hi Rochelle, welcome to the Ohio board! I wish you well and all the luck. I noticed you have Ohio Medicaid also. Not to deter you, but they have not been approving the LapBand, they still consider it "experimental". But perhaps you will be the 1st and open the doors for many other people! God Bless,

Lap Band on 12/02/04

Hi Rochelle! I was banded by Dr. Needleman on 12/2 and just saw him today for my first fill. He is great and I feel wonderful. Feel free to email me direct with any questions on my experience. You can also read over my profile. I put lots of info on there from the time I contacted OSU to this morning's experience. Best of luck to you! Pam
