    Thanks for your replies! I was beginning to think I am too old for this. I have a stress test/electrocardiogram scheduled for March 31 and then hopefully my cardiologist will clear me for surgery!

    April 2011 Bandsters

    sandy1 replied to emptyNest's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I am so hoping to be an April Bandster!!! Gotta get electrocardiogram and stress test then doctor clearance. Tests are scheduled for March 31st. I am praying and nothing is seriously wrong and to be cleared for surgery after these tests!

    I am considering surgery in Mexico also. The doctors seem to care much more than anyone I have dealt with in the USA. True Results makes me feel like just a number and I get the feeling they don't care about anything but he $$$$$$$$$$. The only problem I am having is with the fills. I can't travel back to Mexico for fills. Makes me think I am just stuck using these uncaring folks here in Texas!

    I had an abnormal EKG and was told I had to have a cardioligist clear me for my surgery. Now I am scheduled for a stress test and ekocardiogram. I can't get this done until March 31st then will have to see what the DR says. So yes I had to move my surgery date out!

    sandy1 replied to sandy1's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I went to my primary care doctor and had another EKG. The very same result. So now I have to go to a cardiologist. Trouble is the first available appointment is march 25th!!! WTH.... this is my heart health. Soooo I am going to have to reschedule my surgery for a later date!

    I just went for my first visit and found out I have an abnormal EKG. Now I have to go to my DR and hopefully get a normal test. If not I have to go to a cardioligist. I am just trying to get this done and now this-more delays. Anyone else have this trouble? I am using True Results in Housto, TX.

    sandy1 replied to nallygirl's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I am scheduled for March 23rd. Still have a couple of speed bumps to get over but with a bit of luck I will be banded in 3 weeks. Start my pre op diet in one week!!!

    I also have a low BMI. So did you have any problems getting the procedure with your low BMI? Thanks!
  14. sandy1
    I have my appointment at True Results this Wed. and am considering using Dr. Hollis. I am curious too about the shocked at their financing options. I am a self pay with a low BMI. I was approved for finance and so far not shocked.

    Low BMI'ers - And some other Q's

    sandy1 replied to StormGirl's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums

    I have a 30 BMI. Just wondering where you are and if it was difficult to find a DR to perform the banding procedure? Thank!!
  17. sandy1
    My BMI is a little lower than you at 31. I am just getting started with my research and the more I read the more difficult it is. I am definetly doing something. I hate being over weight and just can't lose wieght and keep it off without help!!!! I am in Houston TX so Mexico is not so far. I love this forum because I can read about other stories and know I am not alone!!!!

    I am wondering how much cheaper is getting banding in Juarez than in the USA? My BMI is only 31 and my insurance will not cover the procedure Thanks
  19. sandy1
    Anyone have a BMI of around 30? I am a 54 year old lady and have been over wieght for about 11 years. My BMI is 30 so I will have to finance the procedure myself. Just wondering if there are any others that are here with lower BMI's considering being banded?
