Recommended Posts

:welcome: :welcomeB: :P

DALLAS,TX

28, 5'2, 250lbs

tried all diets since age 15

been this overweight since I had my son at age 17

I am looking for a job and prefer the job to have insurance

that covers lap band surgery,just in case.

:help: IF YOU HAD THE SURGERY AND YOUR INSURANCE COVERED IT, Please let me know:help: YOUR JOB'S company name.:help:

I have done different types of office work,customer rep.,

a/r and have done some light industrial work.

I have been offered some jobs, but insurance does not

cover lap band surgery.

About how much was your out of pocket cost?

My mother was overweight like me,she had lots of complications

from being overweight,she passed away may 2005, age 52.

I see my self and I am just like her,I am starting to notice

symptoms that she had.:sick

THANKS,:eek: TO ALL THAT HAVE POSTED,:clap2: I'm sure this info will be useful to others.

this is the link to the website for jobs at my company. In the Las Colinas, Irving, Coppell area there are a few large call centers and lots of new branches opening up locally throught DFW. Good luck with your search.

Out of pocket I probably paid about $700 total for everything, fills are $50 each time also. I used United Healthcare when I had my surgery and used an out of network surgeon. Hope this helps.

Microsoft is the best. Hubby works there and we don't pay for our health insurance, they covered Lap Band for both of us with ZERO out of pocket. No co-pays or deductibles, they even cover 100% of fills.

www.microsoft.com/jobs they have a site in Las Colinas, not all jobs are technical, but I dunno how hard it is to get on. He's been there for almost 9 years.

I work for the University of Texas..I know they have a school near you, and their PPO covers it. I havent paid for all of it yet, and just had it done ...so I am not sure what my total out of pocket will be. Good luck!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
