Bcbs Federal Basic Vs Standard For Gastric Sleeve Surgery
Amanda Pierce replied to Mel34's topic in Insurance & Financing
I have the lap band since 2008 and want to try the sleeve. I have basic federal bc/bs. Do you know if they will pay for you to have another sgy? They paid all but my copay for sgy and physician fee before. The also paid all but 175 when I breast reduction. -

Slippage..convert to Bypass???
Amanda Pierce replied to lisakayinWA's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I had my lap-band sgy in 03/07/2008 and I lost 40 and gained almost all of it back. I am thinking about doing the bypass, but not sure if my insurance will allow it. I am not sure what to do. -
I just got a few doctors recomended to me to have a breast reduction and I was just wondering how long they told you before you can be up and going again? I hate to miss a lot of work.

Slow Users-Banded a year or more
Amanda Pierce replied to Maurdan's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I have only lost 40 lbs since my sgy. I get compliments every day b/c I have lost inches. I still see the same person I was. I need to learn to just say thank you and go on. I am bad about saying thanks, but the scale has not moved. -
I was doing pretty good, but then I put a few lbs back on. I am no where near my goal, but I am ready to start really changing things and see if that helps. I have just been coasting along and not really losing any. My 1 year is coming up and I have only lost 30 lbs.

I'm a failure...PLEASE HELP ME!!!
Amanda Pierce replied to ThinDolphin3's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I am glad to hear that I am not the only one stuck. I was banded on 03/08 and I have only lost 30 lbs. I walk everyday and nothing. I know it has to be what I am eating, but it still drives me crazy that I am not losing. I dread going back to the doctor, b/c I am sure everyone is doing better than me. -
I think the hardest thing for me was when I stopped losing and just stayed the same. When I stated losing again it was so wonderful. There are a lot of ups and downs, but I am so glad I got the band. Even when I mess up and it I can not hold my dinner down!:thumbup:
