Topic: Charleston Support Group
I'm a patient of Dr. Rossi in Charleston and I'm waiting for approval from my insurance for LAp Band.
Is there a support group that Dr Rossi's patients attend?

Thanks,
Jim

I do hope everything goes through for you!  It does take patience for us.  Hang in there, Lord willing, everything will be fine.

I spoke to United Healthcare today and they have received everything they need from my surgeon's office.
I was informed that my case is in review and I will have an answer by April 3rd.

Wish me luck!

Take care,
Jim

Topic: RE: Making my way to the bench!!

Thanks so much, Jana!  I know what you mean about the pre-op time.  I was so disappointed in the beginning that I couldn't just have the surgery.  But I have to say that using that time to get prepared has been a big help.  I've learned so much here on-line.   And going to the gym in preparation of surgery has surely helped me to get into a routine that, I hope, will continue on throughout my life.  It's all been good!!  Take care, Jana.  It sounds like you'll be on the bench in May!!  Hugs, Pat

Topic: Making my way to the bench!!

Just an update to say I had my pre-op teaching and meeting with the anesthesiologist this week.  Dr. Shin's nurse, Vanessa, went over what to expect in the hospital and the diets, then I had to go to Womens & Childrens to meet with the anesthesiologist who drew 3 tubes of blood and asked a ton of questions in preparation for surgery.  One thing Vanessa said that surprised me, was that I would be taking childrens chewable vitamins for a couple of months then would go back to regular vitamins.  So many people on the Lap Band Forum continue taking chewables because they can't  swallow pills as large as reg. vitamins.  Is there anything special you think I need to take to the hospital?   I'm getting closer!!! March 30 is just around the corner!  Hugs, Pat
