If your insurance covered your surgery, do they also cover all the fills? If not, roughly how much does a fill cost?

Are they able to just replace a port without replacing the entire band setup?

Anyone get their band by Dr. Boorse at Lehigh Valley. Did you have a good experience?
-
Maybe I will try that!

Thank you everyone for your replies.

I know. I'm just trying to tell myself that things I do all the time like driving carry risks also. I guess b/c I have never really had surgery before, this feels so much more extreme or riskier.

I would probably ask to hold off as long as you can on actually ordering your dress. if it's like the end of August, I would get whatever size you are at that time and then have the dress taken in closer to the date if needed.

I have a similar issue. I'm at a 40BMI now but have not been there for 5 years. I have been over 35 for 5 years, but don't have any major co-morbidities. I hope they approve it. Never in a million years did I think I would be worried about being "fat enough".

Did your Doctor charge you to write a letter of Medical Necessity?
Moxi replied to jem8384's topic in Insurance & Financing
I'm not surprised that some physicians would charge. I think it would take up a bit of time to go through your chart, review the info for the past 5 years and compose a thoughtful letter. My children's pediatrician charges $10 to fill out very basic physical forms. -
I'm not banded yet but I'm glad to hear you're feeling well so soon! I hope the same goes for me when my time comes. :confused:

I was just wondering what kind of diiet they usually recommend and do they prescribe meds or anything along those lines. I was just wondering what everyone's experience was.
