New bandster in iowa



Recommended Posts

Well I did it. My insurance didn't cover the lap band, but with the incouragement of and old friend and and internet search, I found a clinic in Dallas Tx that did my band for $9990. I was in and out not a big deal so far. Wish me luck. That price included 1 year of fills, but i have to drive to dallas for the followups. But hey, I got it done for half price and my doctor is a good one.

Maybe I can find a local doctor for the fills?

      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.
