Horizon NJ Health, 12 month wait?
Pinkgirl1234 replied to Thick'n'Thin's topic in Insurance & Financing
I had my lapband 11 years ago in NYC.Fast forward I have Horizon NJ Health and had to find a dr that takes this plan.I went to Goldstein because I want to get this horrific band out..At first I wanted the sleeve and saw on his impressive site that he performed revision from band to sleeve.Waited weeks to get an appointment..He was lackluster and not very engaged...and his assistant is an unorganized lazy dingbat.I changed to another dr in the practice and He performs all surgeries as well as revision from band to bypass...His assistant is much more efficient and I am a bit more satisfied.The NUT is wonderful and I am trying to go through all testing in order to get approved. Yes I am with Neff...,very happy I made the change..... -

Pinkgirl1234 replied to sapphire12305's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I just came out of surgery a few hours ago and they couldn't do the bypass for me because my band eroded my stomach and my organs were swollen and smashed together. Yay me.this band was the worst decision ever. I basically did all this testing and went through surgery and that terrible preop diet and paid all It's a shame that we can't file lawsuits.The band is defective. -

Sleeve vs Bypass long term weight loss results
Pinkgirl1234 replied to Pinkgirl1234's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Same here...lapband makes you obsessive because at times you can handle foods other times a vomit fest.As I told the NUT.It doesn't matter what you say to me regarding a meal plan because sometimes I can have a salad or a boil egg,next time I will barf.You never know....and I become so hungry! -

Official November Bypass thread
Pinkgirl1234 replied to Dream4tc's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The gallbladder is nothing to play with...you have to get it removed if you are having problems.Mine was so bad it collapsed when he was removing it.The stones wear hard and bilious.The lapband is a contributor...I am sure. -
