"Administrative Fee"
Mimilou2004 replied to FLbandgirl1985's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It sounds like highway robbery to me. I have heard of these program fees before and think that amount of money is crap. There are other fine surgeons out there who charge nothing extra or just a few hundred. Please keep your options open and check out a few more places. Mimi -

Well, I was banded by him 1 year ago Oct 7th and will be glad to commiserate with you! Mimi -

Barbee, that really stinks. I hope you can get some of the surgery done and that your iron comes up. Best wishes, Mimi -
Laura, you look wonderfull, congratulations!!! Good to know the swelling can last that long, but I am sorry for your discomfort. Mimi

can't get lapbanded because of high copay with medicare
Mimilou2004 replied to toomanypounds's topic in Insurance & Financing
Can't you get a medical loan? $7000 is about what you would pay to go out to CO and see Dr K. I am sorry it is so much. Good Luck, Mimi -
Mini, that really stinks about the seroma. I hope he can get it all out. I am glad you are adjusting your pain meds as needed, no fun to be in pain. Thank you for sharing the picture. I can't get over what a fine line/incision you have!!!! Awesome, indeed. I am going to rent a recliner for a month because I don't have one. It will be electric with a tilt seat to help eject me from the chair, LOL!!!! Take care, Mimi
-
Good morning Mini. I hope you are well!! Are you living in a recliner like others have said they are? Good move to only take 1 pain pill if that controls your pain. Best wishes, Mimi

I eat a mini bag (100 cals) almost every evening. It is a controlled calorie indulgence that satisfies my urge to crunch and munch. Mimi

Mini, I am so happy you are all done and did well. I am also glad you were already sitting down when you fainted!!!! Do you have a pain pump? It will be great to see your pictures. I hope you heal quickly and get back on your feet fast. Mimi

Whats your thoughts on breast lift with or without implants
Mimilou2004 replied to quennee's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
I am facing the same dilemma, but I have 6 months to decide as my TT and B Lift aren't until March. One day I think yes and one day I think at 58 and a half I will be too old for perky full breasts. Then I think, well, I am having them worked on, why not go for the whole thing. Mimi -
Mini, I hope by now you are done and not in any pain. Looking forward to having you post soon. Best wishes, Mimi

Better to be safe than sorry and take no chances with your health. I know you are disappointed, but time will pass. Take this extra time to build your strength and drop some pounds as IsaV said. Best wishes, Mimi

Congratulations on your upcoming LBL. Please post before and after pictures!! Mimi -
Best wishes, Mini. Thanks for starting your album for us. I can't wait to see those jeans post op!!!! Mimi

I think you should call the doc's office and ask them when it is OK. Many docs say 4-6 wks then everything is OK. Mimi

Doggone it, Diane, that stinks. I am having a TT in a few months and am worried that will happen to me. I had a complete unfill a few weeks ago and gained 9 pounds in 2 weeks. I hope you do better than me. I also hope your recovery goes smoothly. Best wishes, Mimi

I don't think you are doomed to failure, but you are going to have to work harder than some ppl. My head hunger is a torture to me and I have to stay vigilant with tracking my calories and exercise and attitude. Some of us must struggle more than others. Best wishes, Mimi
-
YAY, Carrie, way to go!!!!! Mimi
-
Laura, we want to know it all, so whine on!!!! I couldn't see the dog ear you are worried about so I will cross my fingers that it is just the swelling. You look wonderful. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. Mimi
