new band coming



Recommended Posts

There's a new band coming out. Ethicon purchased a swiss company that made a swiss band. It is supposed to be out in the next few months.

What does it mean. Just that you'll have more choices. (as long as insurance covers the new band with no problems)

I'll try to find a link

Hi, Gary.

I have a possibly odd question for you.... Which insurance companies do you deal with the LEAST? lol! I am going to switch insurance companies (we own our own business) and I'm trying to find out which Oregon insurance companies are the most Lap Band friendly.

What does it mean.

It means that after I get my band in 2 weeks, it will already be on its way to becoming obsolete.....just like the Beta's turned to VHS then turned to DVD's....LOL

hard to say state by state. i deal more with BCBS and CIGNA if that helps.GHI and aetna usually cover the band

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
