Im one of their patients and I havent had...No let me rephrase that... they WILL NOT give me a fill since November! Saying that im tight enough but yet im alwayz hungry and im not losing any weight!!

This Dr's. fills are $300!! He will see patients not banded thru him as an "outside patient" meaning that he will NOT file thru the insurance and the visits are $300!

can you get approved sooner with Aetna?
SwissMiss replied to suez383's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I was approved thru AETNA and only had to do 3 months of supervised visits and was then approved in less than 5 days after submission. -
Aetna- Has anyone been through the process?
SwissMiss replied to Atsirc's topic in Insurance & Financing
Ive been with AETNA since 2006-2007 but they had a clause that didnt cover the procedure. They just changed their policy in 2009 to cover weightloss surgeries and I jumped right on it and ended up having the procedure in March of 2010. -

SwissMiss replied to Atsirc's topic in Insurance & Financing
I went thru AETNA and it was a breeze. After my 3 month's of Dr. visits and completing all of the other requirements (EKG, Psych eval) my claim was submitted and approved in less than 5 days and I had my surgery 2wks later -
lol..... you and me both!!! I am FINALLY back in ONEderland as of last week. The scale showed me 199 on March 10th (my 1yr bandaversary) and then moved right back up to 203-205. I do fault my self because I did began to eat alot of icecream and toast.....lol..... It is sooo hard to stay away from them with so much temptation!!

Hello all!! Thanks for replying. Im glad to see more of us that was banded by Dr. Reilly on here!! @ Kristi.....A support group would be good to start on here

Well I had my surgery last year, March 10th. I started out at 243 and I jus made it to ONEderland last week and now im at 197 as of this morning. My weight has been yo-yoing for the past 5 months and slowly droping. I wish it would jus fall off quicker than what it has but I am very grateful for the pounds that I have lost.

When you find out please let me know as well! When this question is asked, alot of the responses are refering us to some Dr. in Bryan, TX. or Tyler TX. but I was hoping to find someone closer IN the HOUSTON or immediate surrounding area. Houston is too big of a city to not have anyone here to do fills for other patients.

Need A Good Lap Band Fill Dr In Houston Tx Area
SwissMiss replied to cisco29's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I just left an appt with TR-Houston and they dont do fills for patients that were not banded at their facility with their Dr's. How do you like them? I am soo sick of them right about now!! I think im going to look for another fill Dr. Any other suggestions for fill Dr's. in the IMMEDIATE Houston area? -
I am soooo frustrated and sick of TRUE RESULTS-HOUSTON!!!!! They have not given me a fill since last November!! I need a new fill Dr. in the immediate Houston, TX. area ASAP!!!!

Before trying out the zumba class at the YMCA I pulled up a lot of videos on youtube just to get a feel of the types of moves that they were going to be doing...lol.... I felt so out of place my 1st time going but I had confidence about the moves because alot of them were the same as the ones I tried out on youtube. I love the fact that I "practiced" at home in the comfort of my own living room before going public with it. I really have no coordination/rhythm at all and definately not a dancer...lol When I cant make it to the YMCA I turn to youtube . There are alot of zumba videos that ive falling in love with on there.

Does your surgeon numb you b4 a fill?
SwissMiss replied to Melissa4773's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yes mam!!! I wouldnt have it any otha way and NO it is not more painful because once its numb its numb and u dont feel a thing!!! -
Ohhh So CONFUSED!!!
SwissMiss replied to LOVESMYPOLICEMAN's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
The program that I went through did all of these prereq. for me at each visit. I had a 3 month medical supervised wait for insurance requirements and I didnt meet the surgeon until the week b4 my scheduled surgery. -
Are unflavored protein powder truly tasteless?
SwissMiss replied to spoiltmom's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi Malinda, I am still having a difficult time mixing unjury w/o screwing up my meals and drinks. How much do u actually use in your soups, jellos, and puddings. Are you using the whole scoop or do u sprinkle jus a little bit. Please help! -

OMG just looked at the Bill
SwissMiss replied to malinda1229's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Well I opened my bill the otha day from AETNA and my surgery was $42,906.97!!! I am responsible for 15% of that so my out of pocket portion is $6,485.21. Luckily the business office screwed up on verifying my benefits and caught it the day before my procedure so I didnt have to pay upfront all of that money and am being billed for it. This is just the hospital portion not the DR.'s portion -
Yes I did!!! And I was soooo sore for like 3-5 days!! Afta all the poke'n for like 30 mins my Dr. finally sent me to xray and they had to do it under fluoro. :scared2: Not a good feeling!!
