I went to my Lapband Seminar last night. I am really psyched about getting the Band. I want to go with this Particular Center, too. I have checked out all their Surgeons License, no complaints filed against them, no malpractice suits. They work out of a Top Hospital in the nation. The only thing holding me back is the $600.00 program fee that has to be paid before the first Nutrition Class. I can meet with the Surgeon before that, and get approved for the Surgery but before they will proceed I have to pay the Program Fee. I have already looked into the Centers in the Area, they either didn't take my insurance or the Surgeons that did had Malpractice Suits against them. So what do you think Banders? Is $600 too high for a Program Fee? :thumbup:

PRE Op Diet Hard to follow

Staying hydrated really does making you less hungry. Propel really fills me up, and keeps the hunger away. But its so expensive. I've switched to Crystal Light, too. :w00t: -
$600 Program Fee? Ouch!
stl2atl07 replied to stl2atl07's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks, Everyone for your Replies! You have good points. My life is definetly worth more than 600 dollars for one thing. It's just going to slow my process down. I will get it, if I have to pay it $50.00 a month until its paid up. I'm a little depressed over the fact that this is going to slow me down and I can't get started like I wanted to. I'm still trying to get a Consult appointment so I can process my approval though. No reason not to get the ball moving, Hey I might Win the Lottery in the process! ( I might want to start playing though!:w00t:) -
PRE Op Diet Hard to follow

I just wanted to congratulate you on your decision to get healthy! You on your way now. This time will past before you know it. Come in the Chat room if you need some encourage there is almost always someone around, at different stages with the band. A really great bunch of people. I agree with the other bandsters, keep your eyes on the prize! You dont want your Surgeon to turn you away because your liver hasn't shrunk enough. Just remember this too will pass. You can do anything for 2 weeks. Take care, Holly :thumbup: -
One step closer! Yay!!!

Hi Jean! Ive been busy with Christmas, but Im good. Eating too much, my Neigbor made yummy goodies. She is my down fall. Still trying to figure out my G.I. issues, it's def not my Gall Bladder though. The function test came out normal, too. Next they are doing a EGD, looking for ulcers. I'm going to be tested for Diabetes Monday. I really want to get this ironed out so I get my Lapband. How are things going with you?

Its got to feel good to hear it must be working, you must be looking better, feeling better. Obviously its showing. Less than a week away. I am so excited for you.
I am making my own Protein Style Burgers at home, and I dont miss the bread at all. They are yummy. I know my great doesn't need the red meat, but I must need something in it. I crave the red meat. Keep posting those recipes, Girl! Keep in touch!

So happy for you that you are over that hump!!! Here you come now. I will looking for you. Merry Christmas!
