Hi Joiful, If you a have hospital in your area that specializes in bariatric surgery, you can call them up and see if they have a support group meeting. Some of them have support groups dedicated to lap band patients. The groups can be encouraging, especially since there will be others that can relate to what you are going through.

Congrats June Bandsters. My date is June 24th.

It would be best to call your Customer Service at Aetna. They will tell you if your surgery is covered and what are the criteria to submit your paperwork. They have a website page that has all the criteria included Obesity Surgery that link should work for you. But again the best thing to do is call to make sure your company doesn't exclude the surgery or say it is medically necessary. I had to do the six month diet. Hope this helps. I have the Aetna POS II NAP.

Make sure not to put Neosporin type ointments of hydrogen peroxide on incision site. It will slow the healing process.

try atlantabariatrics.com they are located in johns creek, ga near suwanee.

I'm happy for you and thank you for your detailed story it was very interesting. I just got approved for surgery thru Aetna and this type of feedback is just what I need. I can't believe they gave you a fill directly after surgery. I wonder if anyone else has had that experience...
