You are my band twin! I am getting banded on 12/12. If you interested in joining our December secret Facebook group in box me. It would be nice to have someone who will share my Band-day & journey with

I am sorry that so sucks. I had a choice to go with an in network doctor but mine is out of network but I was told whatever they pay he will accept as full payment. Could the surgeon at least let you make payments to him? 85% is a pretty generous amount. Would you consider looking for another surgeon or at least an out of network one. Maybe if you tell them that they will work something out. You are the customer if they want to keep you they should accommodate you. Just saying

My my co-insurance is suppose to be 20% but my Surgeon will take my insurances 80% as payment. I am glad because I wouldn't be able to do that. Especially because it would be for my husband and I. Good Luck!

I really did not need one to get the lapband because my bmi is high enough but after meeting with the pulmologist he said my neck was thick and I should have one done. I am sure the fact that my insurance paid for it was a factor too. I told him that I really don't even snore and I never woke up short of breath. But he did a split test. The first couple of hours I slept regular and then around 1 am the put the mask on me and I slept until 5 am with the mask on. I did pull it off once. He came back in to put it back on. I swear that I had a dream that he told me to take it off LOL He said that I it happened again he would have to put a full mask on. I still do not know if I have sleep apnea. I guess I don't cause I never got a call with results.

WOW!!! Hopefully it will never happen but now I know the Drano recipe and thank goodness its not the real Drano you buy in the house cleaning aisle.

Hope you are ok?

Take a seat and enjoy the ride. You came to the right place, look around there is tons of information for you!!! Good Luck!

Being that you have a history of bloods clots definitely stay in the hospital they will monitor and make sure that that is prevented. Look around here, read threads, there's lots of positive things. Please usually knock what they don't understand. Good luck!

YEAH! Join us in the December Bandsters thread!!! My Band date is 12/12. We have a secret facebook group too if you are interested in-box me ! Congrats!!!

I understand what happens when you get stuck but what exactly does feeling restricted feel like? Like your full? bloated?
