I'm 68, been on Medicare 3 years, 6-5 and weigh enough to play nose guard for the Packers. Allright, 305. My first surgeon appointment is this coming week etc. BMI 37 with two co-morbs. My question is, has anyone else used Medicare for the LB surgery and studies? How does it go with them? Do you have to prequalify first or do you get it all done and then hope they pay like most things Medicare? Thanks for letting me know some insights.:laugh:

I'm brand new here, first community meeting last week, first meeting with the surgeon later this month, and I've read hundreds of posts. Here's probably a dumb question so please bear with me: Once we reach our ideal weight do we then release the band so eating returns to "normal?" Or should we expect to have its help to some degree the rest of our lives? TIA.

Does anyone know anything about Froedtert's Lap-Band program?
