Anyone here go to the seminar for Dr. Pitt/Peters in Columbia 6/26?
christaO replied to midwestchickie's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I am going to one of Dr Pitts seminar in Aug I am so ready for this but I know I am going to have to fight my insurance company (Blue Cross Blue Shield Alliance)(anyone have that company) every step of the way and will probably also have to use the group I saw on the internet that will rep you if your insurance refuses to help you. It is an Advocacy Center and Obesity Law Center Has anyone ever used them? I also read where someone went to Dr Pitt even though they had to drive 70 miles since he was not as expensive Can anyone tell me the banding cost with Dr Pitt if you are self pay Thanks and Have a Great Day -

I would like any information you have and any others who have gone to the same Dr as you then when you needed a fill was it hard to find a doctor since you had the banding in Mexico and also as a self pay are fills expensive, again thanks for responding I really appreciate your help -
