6 month Lap band prep



Recommended Posts

Did anyone have a 6 month lap band prep time that included Nutritional and Case management phone calls and internet monitoring?

I am going to start the journey to lap banding and this is the process I have to go through.

??????

thanks:huh2:

Yes, I had to fullfil the same requirements as you listed. We must have the same insurance? U.H.? I did not have "internet monitoring" though. I just finished the six months and was approved - surgery is in two weeks.

No I dont have that insurance. But Carewise is doing the monitoring for my 6 months. I had my enrollement call with the dietician for the first time today. And they will all be phone calls no internet.

I will talk to her again next week and then twice a month from here on out till 6 months.

I just hope that after 6 months something doesnt come up and they say no.

That would be crushing.

So did you have to do many things for your surgeon as well?

Yes, I had many tests and medical clearances to obtain prior to being approved....cardio, sleep test, EGD, EKG...blood tests, etc, etc. Good luck to you. I am sure you won't have any issues getting approved after the 6 months.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
