Hi Barbara, How are you doing?? Im at a stand still with my wl and am having my second fill on friday..I feel great otherwise, i do not have much restriction though at all..im down like 34 lbs so far since the beginning...and cant wait to reach my goal of 150lbs..I thought this was the easiest surgery I have ever had..

Thanks every one, My surgery went very well and Im in very little pain, my port is the sorest incision only when I have to sit up, have some pressure in my chest and ribs , not bad though.Spent 1 night in ICU because of my sleep apnea, the nurses were wonderful and feeling pretty good, just focusing on getting my liquids in and waiting for the center to call me to tell me when I can add my protein shakes in. Thanks for all your kind words and support. Im finally banded.
Realize band 11/9/2009.

Hi , Hope all went well. Mine is on Monday the 16th. It will be nice to see your post this week. That is if you feel up to posting. It sure helps calm the nerves to read about others that went right before you .

Medicare will approve Lap-Band Surgery! Approved facilities List
stacey4870 replied to someonelsehasit's topic in Insurance & Financing
:thumbup:Hi, Im Stacey I live in Derry Nh and have Medicare as my primary and Anthem new England as a secondary, when I called Medicare, they said as they would cover the lap band as long as I fit their criteria, had a BMI of over 40 , had at least 1 health issue related to obesity, went to one of their Centers Of Excellence, and had failed attempts at other diets. I did not have to do any special diet before surgery, just did weight watchers to loose some weight before my surgery, I am being banded on Nov 9,09 and hope that Anthem will pick up the other 20% . This was a very easy process for me and didnt need to wait for any approvals...they just booked it! -
