Puddinpie are you allergic to the numbing medicine that the dentist uses? If so you need to mention that to your fill doctor. Novocaine (used by dentists) is lidocaine. Although there are other numbing meds this one was commonly used by dentists. Myra

Congrats on the approval. Why did UHC deny Dr. Louis Fox. I just had surgery with him 5/19 and I have UHC. Just curious. Myra

I did my grandfather's eulogy when I was 26. I had all the grandkids write a paragraph about him and then incorporated it into one piece. I wore a HOT PINK SATIN AND LACE PANTSET. My grandfather would have appreciated that so I didn't care what anyone else thought. Myra

MRJ I don't know much about Medicaid but here is the link that should have info on it. I believe it is a covered procedure but I don't know the requirements to qualify. Myra http--www.cms.hhs.gov

Diane get all the rest and recovery that you need. The band will be there later. Wishing I was closer so I could bring you some chicken soup. Myra

Hey folks it's Sherri that has the new date. Not Myra. M

Big thumbs up. It will be here before you turn around. Myra

Hello mytime. Chin up. Sometimes it takes a while to get everything settled and fixed. Let us know how things go. Myra

Hi 254/175. You may want to drop in the complication forum and tell the good folks there about your leak. I think there are several that have had a leaking port. Congrats and hope everything goes smoothly after your fix. Myra

Hi Lisa congrats on the June 19th surgery date. You may want to join the June Band crew in the general forum. It will have folks being banded in June on it. Myra

Congrats on your banding. Hope everything is going smoothly for you. Myra

Hi Juli. I hope you are finding the answers you need on LBT. Waiting is never easy. But it will fly by before you know it. Myra

Hi DDSW go to the Insurance forum and do a search on Tricare. It might give you some useful hints. I know people talk about it there. Congrats and hope things go smoothly for you. Myra

Hi Candy. Time is flying by and it will be here before you know. Keep us updated on how you and your sister are. You may want to drop by the June 2006 thread in the General Lap Band Discussion forum. It will put you in touch with folks getting lapbanded around the same time as you and your sister. Myra

Wanted to hello and congrats for your future. No tips on Mexico I was banded in the states. Just make sure you do your research and share with the family when appropriate. Myra

I called my ins co almost daily after my surgeon sent in my papers. Which was good because my initial request packet was *lost*. It would have been months before I knew if I had not made almost daily calls. Then my second packet was missing vital information that the ins co had to have before they would approve it. It took another month to get that information to them. Again if I had not called it would have really taken forever to find out. Once I had everything to the ins co it took 48 hours for them to give approval. It took an act of Congress almost just to get everything there. I have one of the historically better ins co to work with. Aetna has a rep for being a bear. I would not rely on the doctors office. I would call at least twice a week just to make *sure* they have everything they *need*. Others may feel different. This is what I would do. I found Tuesday to be the day that usually had new information. Seems on Friday it would leave whoever's desk it was on but it would take until Tuesday for it to actually get into the computer. Myra

YAAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Welcome to the losing side. M

Welcome to the losing side. Glad everything has straightened out for you. Myra
