This doesn't make much sense to me. I take a baby aspirin every day. Why would it hurt the stomach when the aspirin goes in the stomach and the band goes around the stomach. My doctor said it's fine to take an aspirin once a day. Thanks Barbara

Can anyone who has had a lapband paid for by Medicare, tell me what part of the procedure Medicare did not pay for? :help:

bbjerseygirl, Thank you. I'm going to be a self pay, but my husband is going through Medicare. It looks like it takes about 6 months for him. He needs a lot of documentation from his doctor. Has to go for psych eval, nutritionist....etc. I was trying to find out if anyone has had it done and how long it took them and what they paid. I haven't heard anything about Medicare dropping the procedure, though. Anyway, thanks for your time, I appreciate it.

Thanks faithmd, I will check it out. I'm real new here and trying to figure my way around.
