Recommended Posts

:Bunny I just got off the phone with them. I ordered my info pack, with some papers to fill out, when I get that, I'll schedule my 1 on 1 consultation with the Dr., it costs $175. Seminars are optional. Then after the consultation, you schedule your surgery. The $10,500 is for cash/self pay & includes the surgery, tests, etc. & 1 yr of free fills/adjustments!!!:Bunny

Hope this helps other people!

Find out how many Bands this doctor has done. Many docs give a very low price when they are just starting because until a doctor has done more than 100 bands, the complication rate is much higher than later. Cheap is not so cheap if they are very inexperienced and just starting and have no followup and after care problem, and don't know enough to teach you what to do. a port replacement is like $2000 if they puncture it or the port flips becuase the stures were not put in well. It also takes at least 100 fills to start to get a feel for how much is good, and how to read the fluoros.

As I mentioned in another thread, my surgeon, Dr. Thomas Lavin, has a self-pay program for $12,900. As long as you fit the health criteria for outpatient surgery, the $12,900 covers the following:

Surgeon

Hospital (up to a 23 hour stay)

Anesthesiologist

1 year of follow-up care/fills

The initial out-of-pocket visit is $175, which includes the psych evaluation. Any tests (sleep apnea, blood work, etc.) are also out-of-pocket.

From Dr. Lavin's website www.whyweight.com...

"As one of the first 4 U.S. proctors for Inamed Health, he teaches and credentials other surgeons in the placement of the Lap-band device for the treatment of morbid obesity."

Here's the link for his Surgeon Profile on obesityhelp.com. Please note that the number of surgeries he's performed needs to be updated.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
