i was banded yesterday morning, nov 9. my instructions are 2 days clear, then days 3-7 full liquid, then mushies for 2 weeks. today i have sipped gatorade and had a few bites of jello, and about a cup of broth.

I've been Banded!! this morning at WLSC. Suzzzie...no cash upfront except the consult. everyone there was great!

I was banded TODAY!!!!! :whoo: i have a little gas pain, but otherwise doing well. oh, and i want a cheeseburge . :cry

ok...I'm home...all is well, just a little pain now.

today's the day...getting things done before leaving to OP ...surgery at 830 !!!

glad it worked for you...how are you 2 doing with it together?

ok, i am almost there...getting banded friday at WLSC in OP. my wife will probably do the online seminar this week.

been a long time since i was on here. i just got approval notice for surgery at WLSC in KC. have a stress echo scheduled next week, then we are one step closer!

thanks...i think i have decided on WLSC in OP, but not sure...my wife's sleep dr says he works closely with the dr who called her "non-compliant" and will be able to get that squared away. she has a new sleep study this week.

well, my wife and i have temporarily stalled our quest to be banded. we were both approved last sept by our insurance, but the dr we were going to went out of network so we had to postpone. i hope to be banded by the end of this year.

i went for a consult and didnt find out til 2 weeks after that the dr i went to was going out of network...had paid money already...not lapbanded yet...going to find another dr

my wife and i are lds and we live in Liberty, MO. we met on an lds chat board, and i moved here from wyoming. after having originally selecting a dr in KC,MO and my wife and i going to the initial consult, i found out from my ins company he was going out of network, but had failed to mention it to us. my wife then selected another dr, went to her 3rd seminar, submitted paperwork to that dr, only to be told they wouldn't accept her as a patient because they didnt think she would be compliant. she is heartbroken. oh, and we got the approval letter from the insurance for both of us for the first dr who went out of network. i am waiting to first have my sinuses gutted out so i can use my c-pap machine, then will begin steps to select a dr again.

Kath, i have had knee surgery, not replacement, but am 120 lbs overweight with BMI 51, sleep apnea that surgery didnt fix, and a few other problems. I have United choiceplus ppo. I had my consult with dr malley monday, tues they called and said UHC said it was covered, so they will submit the paperwork and i should be able to schedule surgery in about a month.

that was me for over 15 yrs, until 1999 when i went back to church. went to the temple in san diego in 2000, moved to utah for 6 months, moved to wyoming for 18 months, met my wife online, and moved to MO to marry her in 2002 in Nuavoo.

cool. my wife and i had our consult with dr malley yesterday morning. his office called today to say the insurance has said the procedure is covered, so they will submit the paperwork and we should have approval in about a month. we are both getting banded, about 2 weeks apart. We live in Liberty, MO about 2 miles from Liberty Jail.

hey, not a problem...i've done the freecycle thing a couple of time myself. my pet peeve is people misrepresenting that something works. "oh it worked when i put it in the garage, should still work", only to find out you drove 25 miles one way o haul away their 50 lb doorstopper for them. some are honest, some are not, that's the price of "free"cycling i guess

if you still have the laptop to give away i will gladly take it and pay for shipping it to me. miztrniceguy

try sleeping in an easychair...ive had reflux for years...now ive got arm tingles

yes, i did find out about PB, not as bad as PF thankfully. after going to malley's seminar last month, and tallgrass yesterday, my wife and i have decided on malley. i filled out his packet yesterday.

my wife and i went to tallgrass today, after going to dr malleys seminar last month.we have decided on dr malley. first appointment for us is mon 28th

does anyone have experience in the kc metro area?

my wife will probably have it done, but not till next year

i take calls for Citicards...i sell widgets!

my wife and i(and 2 kids) went to the seminar and are feeling that this would be the right thing for both of us. yes, i am the same Miztrniceguy as kcbandsters, also on Ldstalk, use to be on Ldschat, or anywhere else. doubt you would find this spelling anywhere else.lol we are going to tallgrass seminar aug 12th, too

thanks for the explanation mandy
