Reputable Lap Band Surgeon In Socal

I too am using Dr Sebastian Hooman & didn't pay any program fee an met with him during the seminar.... The staff is great with me & even helped me when my insurance didn't have him in network. I didn't know if they didn't cover it' date=' i could request a out of network Dr if my insurance couldn't find me one within 50 miles. With my insurance I have to pay 300 for my surgery unless i have to be hospitalized then it'll be 600.... Now I'm just waiting for approval, it's been 3 days since i finished with the insurance requirements.... Keeping my fingers crossed :-)[/quote']

Wouldn't it be so fun if we ended up having surgery together? Or meeting at the office?

Since you're in SoCal, did you get to see the shuttle?

Good luck!!!! Yes, please keep me posted, especially cuz i would like to know how your experience is with them.... I wish they would call me already, I'm anxious :-)

I promise to keep you on the up and up. Call your Insurance and ask them what's going on.

One thing to note when you have any major surgery there is a 90 day global period. What this means is that the provider s paid a global fee to include the surgery and all follow up visits during the 90 day period.

This means that your fills during this period are covered under the global fee that the provider was paid by your insurance. They should not be charging you an additional fee. The global covers all expected follow up visits for 90 days. I would shop around its competitive out there, but ask the right question how soon can you get in if you have any problems, what kind of support system do they have, how often can you get a fill etc.
