cxmm4152 4 Posted March 25, 2014 Well its official, I have a surgery date of May 19th! Im so excited but am also nervous/anxious. My doctor said it shouldn't be an issue to remove my band and do the sleeve at the same time, which is a huge relief. Anyone else having surgery in May in or around Dallas? 1 Band2Sleever reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mgolden1984 13 Posted March 26, 2014 I'm hoping for revision but from Nh I don't think my doctor will do the survey at the same time he said do to insurance requirements I have to have band removed do the program again and then can be sleeved blah so it looks like Oct or Nov for me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cxmm4152 4 Posted March 27, 2014 Im in April revision in Dallas...out of pocket is $3000 Are you a self pay or is that what insurance wont cover? My insurance isn't covering anything. Being a self pay I'm paying $16,000. That includes everything from my EGD to my post-op appointments, overnight stays in the hospital, nutritionist, anesthesiologist, and everything else in between Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Derouin4 30 Posted March 28, 2014 I'm in Houston with a goal of the end of May. The surgeon thinks its doable, as long as I continue to meet all of my insurance requirements. I am also extremely excited and scared. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
