Im glad to hear things are finally looking up for you. What a blessing this doctor came when he did. Best of luck

I hope to be an august all-star. Just waiting for insurance apprroval. Pray for me please.

Try ge money credit card. The provide financing for medcal issues and usually at a very low interest rate. Good luck

I totally agree with you. That was also my impression. He is trying to steer people away from the lapband and into his hands.

Whats up? Born in alabama, raised in illinois. Still living in chi-town but a country girl at heart. Done with all my testing and now just waiting for is approval then a surgery date then a better quality of life. So tired of carrying this extra weight around. Wish you all the best of luck .

I read the book written by your doctor, her husband, and khaliah ali. Your doctors sound like a wonderful team. The book is called fighting weight.

Hi, i am at the same place that you are-waiting on last result which should be in 3 days. The woman that handles the ins at my hosp said my bc/bs hmo takes about 2 days for the medical group to make a decision. I just have faith god will work everything out in his time. Good luck to you

Hi marie i too am waiting for my last test result(psych eval) then it can be submitted to ins.. Are you going to attend the support meetings on monday evenings at 6:30 in stritch cafeteria?

If you really want to lose weight do what the dr. Advised you to do. You're doing it the way you want and obviously it's not working for you. Thats why we need the lapband cause hat we have been doing is not working for us.

I AM SEEING DR SARKER FOR MY BANDING AT LOYOLA. ALL I HAVE LEFT IS THE PSYCH EVAL. CAN ANYONE TELL M ABOUT THIS? MY EMAIL IS dcutipie@aol.com

can you have prune juice

Hi starrgirrl, just read your message and it really touched my heart. I will definitely say a prayer for you. I will also ask that god's will be done. Whatever happens he knows what it is best for us. Good luck

I AM GOING THRU THE TESTING PROCESS NOW. I AM SEEING DR. SARKER. CAN YOU EMAIL ME ANY INFO ON HER OR YOUR EXPERIENCE?dcutipie@aol.com

I have bc/bs hmo and i called 3 different times and got the same response which was its covered as long as you get a referral from your pcp. My pcp said she has no problem giving me a referral. Soooo..... I'm just going thru all the test now. Say a prayer

Hi gon, i went for my first visit a week ago and my surgeon talked about the surgery and what it entailed. Asked about the different diets i had tried. Then scheduled a zillion tests i have to have done before surgery can be scheduled. Good luck

HAS ANYONE BEEN BANDED AT LOYOLA IN MAYWOOD,IL BY DR. SARKER?

Hi Guys, I Guess I Really Am A Newbie. On Tues. I Will Just Be Having A Visit With My Pcp To Try To Talk Her Into Writing A Referral For Me. My Insurance Covers It 100% But Not Without Her Okay. Last Year She Would'nt Even Give Me A Rx For Xenical Diet pills. She Said You Just Need To Diet And Exercise....like I Have'nt Tried That. I Have Had 3 Ankle Surgeries, 3 Knee Surgeries And Now Hip Pain. Can't Begin To Tell You About The Pain I Live With On A Daily Basis From The Arthritis And The Depression From It All. Any Suggestions To Help Me Convince Her ?
