may be moving to SC??? HELP



Recommended Posts

hello Friends-

I may be faced with a big move, i was just banded in March of 2011 and may be moving south to Hilton Head Island, South Carolina.

Also my possible new employer does not give health insurance BUT does give 3000 towards it.

So my question is 2 fold

1. Has anybody had any good or bad with the " Fill centers" i see there is one right on HHI wich would be helpfull. I will be talking more to my DR once i know more and see what they have to say, but in t he meatime i would like some feed back from fellow banders.

How bad is it with OUT insurance???? i think i can get health insurance on my own with the $ they give me, Ehealthinsurance or something??

2. Anybody near HHI or Savanah GA, that has been banded and know of a good Dr ?

now being banded things like moving are a little bit more of a challange, =)

im really at the begining stages so not to many people know yet, so i ask my fellow lap banders for help first =)

Hi...I used the Fill Center USA in California and am extremely happy with the service I received. Was costly for my first visit, but was well worth it.....I didn't use one of their local offices (drove about 1 1/2 hrs away) because I wanted to be filled by fluoro but I know if I needed an unfill there are offices locally that can do the job. Was a little skeptical when I drove up to the office (a back pain drs office) but she was fantastic, knew what she was doing, took her time, did a great job....worth trying in SC if you don't know someone who can recommend a good dr for you....Good luck!

      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.
