Anyone Banded is Dallas, TX
dawwhite replied to Dark_Lovely's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I was banded on 4/8/09 and used Dr. Frank Felts. I went through Lapband Solutions and they handled everything for me. All I had to do was give them my insurance information and they took care of all of it. Even when I was denied they handled all my appeal paper work and everything and go me approved. I loved my surgeon and his staff. Dr. Felts does all my fills...I never have to worry about a nurse doing it. www.lapbandsolutions.com Good luck!! Dawn -
Cher,
I was banded on 4/8/09. I have only been on "solids" for a few days...well actually I've been afraid to start solids so I'm still on mushies. I go in for my first fill May 7th. Can you give me some tips on "solids" I should try? Also, is it even possible to get sick when you don't have anything in your band? I'm afraid that I've been eating too fast or my bites are too big....but how can I tell if I can't get sick?

Cigna: How often do the requirements change? (and other questions!)
dawwhite replied to Dana36's topic in Insurance & Financing
I did not have to lose a certain amount of weight before Cigna approved me. In fact, I think I only lost like 3-4 pounds in the 6 months. -

I just went through the same thing with Cigna. You will need to start with March, otherwise they will deny your surgery. They try to make it as difficult as possible to make you give up! But don't it is definitely worth it!!! I'm so happy I stuck with it! Hang in there!! -
MUSHIES...Any Ideas??

I just got out of the mushies stage. My favorite thing to eat was mashed up avacados. I also did refried beans and laughing cow light cheese. Good luck!
