E-Thrombosis - warning to new post-ops
Iluvharleys replied to leatha_g's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I too sit at the desk/computer all day. I do move some, but not every hour. I guess I really need to start making it a practice to move more. Thanks for the article, Betty -

Greetings from UK Newbie!
Iluvharleys replied to southerntoon's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I doubt it will be too long, at least I hope not. They said since I will be a self pay it would happen pretty fast. One thing I have learned while living in Texas what I call fast is not fast. Texans are slow moving, and I like that too, but I was always use to the fast moving coming from up north. so we will see. Maybe we will be getting it done about the same time and can help each other. I will find out more on the 28th. Betty -

Kimberly - How are you doing? I bet you are really getting nervous. Please keep us posted. Betty -
Boy, I can relate to this one! Everytime I say I am going to bed, I do about 10 more things. I don't know why we do that, guess it is just being a woman. Betty

Doctor's Office Finally Called
Iluvharleys replied to Iluvharleys's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
O.K. I just called over to the Dr. office, and ask a few questions. The lady that answered the phone said since I was self pay there would not be a Psych involved. She said they would do the blood work etc. I ask her what all would be involved in the first visit, and she said consiltation, he will ask about any problems etc. and he will tell you what procedure would be best for you. I told her I only wanted the lap band, and she said if I would qualify for that he would do it. I then ask her how long after my first visit would I be able to schedule surgery. She said they will call the hospital and see when they have a spot available and will set it. She said it could be 2 weeks or even less. So, I feel better now that I know a little more. I guess I will just concentrate on making a list of questions and try to get more exercise in and practice eating and drinking. Betty -
Doctor's Office Finally Called
Iluvharleys replied to Iluvharleys's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I was wondering if I was self pay if I would have to provide any of it. I did have to fill out some paperwork and send back to them, stating all the things I tried for losing weight, all my medical history, etc. My PCP wrote a letter to him already, so that is taken care of. It would be nice if all I had to do was go talk to him and then off to the procedure shortly after. I probably can't be that lucky though. I have been checking out that UTBandits but not much has been said about self pay. That sure is a different site than this one. I joined but have never posted on it. Thanks for all the info! Betty -
Leatha - I haven't found a place here to go, that is one of the things I miss most. In Indiana, there was a barand a band everywhere. I am wondering if when they pass the new liquor laws here if we might see some start opening up. It is so different here with the laws. How is the laws in Plano? It is so strange how one county can sell it and the other one can't. I live in Grand Prairie, but if I go 2 exits up into Arlington, I can buy it in the stores. Betty

Body rejecting chocolate.. call 911!

Lisa - Did you ever heal up from your previous surgery? I know you said it was getting better. Maybe soon, they can put a new port in for you and you will get some help. Betty -
Doctor's Office Finally Called
Iluvharleys replied to Iluvharleys's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Hope - Not really, high blood pressure. Heart disease runs in my family (Mother's side). It actually sounded to me like they were going to do all that stuff on the first visit, I might be wrong, but the first visit is $232.00 and then the second visit is $90.00. I will have to go home and read my information they sent again. I thought it said on the second visit they just go over everything with you again. The second visit is when I have to pay in full for everything. (Hospital, surgeon, etc.) I guess I will check it out tonight, then if I am still can't tell, I will give them a call and see. I need to get a list of questions together, I have a few, but need to get everything ready to ask. So, if y'all have anything on your mind that I need to ask, please let me know. I can use all the help I can get. Thanks, Betty
