Hi all, I was banded on 5/13/08 with Dr. Carter. I have not had a fill yet but I need one so bad. I have not lost that much weight but I can tell the difference with my clothing. I want that Shrinko De Mayo ticker, does anyone know where I can get it? Gretta Grand Prairie, TX

Hi Lisa, I live in Grand Prairie and I was just banded on 5/13/08. I am a member on the yahoo DFW Bandsters and this is also a great support group. What doctor did you use? How much have you lost? Gretta

Hi Cindi, I lived in the DFW area, how much area you selling the treadmill for?

Dr. Carter did my banding on 5/13/08 and he was wonderful... I actually was scared to death right before the surgery and he came over rubbed my cheek and calmed me down. I am finding myself right now able to eat without restriction which concerns me. But I work in insurance and understand that you have a 90 day post op period that your insurance will not pay for the fill also. That is also one reason he does not do it until the 91 day. He would end of having to write off the balance. Any suggestions for how to curb my hunger?

I live in Grand Prairie and would love to get more information about the dinners in Arlington. When is the dinner in the Month of November

where is dr speigel located at

Hi all... I am kinda new to the LapBand... I just started a new job and I now have United Healthcare... Hoping they will be easier to get approval for the band. I have given up on my other insurance which is Tricare Standard. I live in the Dallas/Ft Worth area...closer to Arlington... Anyone know of a good surgeon in this area that gets United Healthcare approved. Thanks all Gretta

Hi my name is Gretta... I have United Healthcare also.... I am going to start my approval process. I live in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Anyone know of a really good doctor in this area? Thanks Gretta

I have tricare standard

Jill..... I understand that Tricare paid for your lap band.... what area of the US do you live in ? Which Tricare region. Thanks Gretta

I just read that Champus VA is paying for the lab band. This is a Champus program for dependents for military members that died during military service. Chapter 2 Section 29.15 Heres the link to it http://www.va.gov/hac/forbeneficiaries/champva/policymanual/trans89.pdf

do you mean Wilford Hall in San Antonio?

I would love too... when & where Gretta
