I'm not banded yet, but I asked my dr that very question (since I'll be a self-pay) ~ Insurance won't cover to get it, will they pay to remove it if I run into problems...Dr. Jay said yes, at that point, it is considered medically necessary.

CONGRATS!!! Please keep us posted as to how you're feelin' and a healin'!

You're such a sweetie! I was just there this morning and found a great bra that was clearanced for $12.99! I'm going back tonight to look around again! :biggrin1:

This is something that I'm seriously taking into consideration trying to come to my decision to get the lapband. One of the questions that Dr. Jay asked me was if I had ever had a resistant staph...and I have. Received it during a scoping of my knee. 3 days after surgery I woke up in excrusiating pain all over my body on my husband's graduation day. Obviously I had to miss and my mom took me to my doctors office in tears. The dr came into my room and saw my leg, told his nurse to reschedule everyone else in the waiting room and for me to get to the hospital ER immediately. I ended up in the hospital for almost 3 weeks, got a central line put in and was sent home having to give myself IVs 3x/day of Ancef & taking Cipro for a month. Found out later that I came close to losing my leg. And this was all from a knee scope!!! I can't imagine having that kind of an issue in my gut. I've had knee issues since, but my orthapedic said he doesn't want to open me again since I've had the infection unless it was absolutely necessary ~ so for you medical people out there....does that mean that I'd have a better chance of getting it again?!!:omg:

Good luck!!!! I can't wait to hear how you do!!! Here's wishing you nothing but the very best of luck tomorrow!!!!:clap2:

My EXACT feelings!!! I'll be a self pay also and I keep flip-flopping on the decision! I told my boyfriend this afternoon on our way to lunch.... how motivated would I be if someone said...I'll pay you $15,000 if you can lose 80 lbs? :moony: OMG! Well heck ya!! Wait...then what's the difference?! Either I'm paying it or saving it. Dangit!!:ermm

Well, after months of research, I went to see Dr. Jay here in Dallas a little more than a month ago. Unfortunately my company changed to BCBS/Tx in January and OMG ~ I spoke to a very helpful person there and she told me that they want a 12 month history with your dr, pschy, dietition, etc. I'm not waiting! So, I'm going this week for my EKG and blood tests and will go from there! :mad: My absolute biggest fear is receiving a resistant staph infection ~ I've already had 1 and almost lost my leg to it....so this is #1, although it is highly unlikely. A more reasonable fear is erosion, or any complication causing the removal of the band! I'm Ready!!!

I'm pre-banded still but I'm in Frisco

AAKKKKKK!!! :faint: CUTENESS OVERLOAD!!!

I will probably be a self pay and I asked my doctor the same question. He said that if there are complications, etc after the band, insurance would pay because it is medically necessary at that point.
