Rhodap 0 Posted February 10, 2009 Did you not do any research before having the procedure??? Were you not told that there is a VERY SMALL possibilty that the band might erode??? This was made very clear to me before I had my surgery along with all the other possibilities. If you weren't told then I can understand your attitude, for me however it was made clear from my very first consulation with my doc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr. Duc Vuong 44 Posted February 11, 2009 The erosion rate is very, very low now--about 1% or less, but I am sorry to hear it happened to you, Carol. Best wishes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CaraFisher 0 Posted March 28, 2010 I have wanted the surgery for a couple of years. What do I need to do to apply for the give away? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skeeter321 0 Posted March 31, 2010 I have wanted the LAP-BAND® surgery for several years now. I am only 5'3" and weigh 290 pounds. I have degenerating knee disease. osteopenia, and am borderline diabetic. I want to keep on living and I have tried losing weight and I just can't get around and get the exercise I need. I am unemployed and there is no money or insurance to pay for this surgery. Everything hurts. I want to live again. Life is precious. I need this surgery. How do I sign up for the LAP-BAND® giveaway? Thank you so much for what you are doing. This surgery can give someone their life back. Praise God. Thank you. Esther White:thumbup: AKA Skeeter321 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Krystle Lynn 0 Posted June 19, 2010 I would kiss the ground someone walked on for the rest of my long, healthy days, if I could get this surgery...My Dr's told me I'm the perfect candidate...My co-borbidities and health issues related to my weight are kicking in at 23. I am desperate for help. My insurance, BCBS has an exclusion for Bariatrics on the policy my employer selected, so that is never an option for me with this company. I have researched everything...Does anyone have any suggestions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At the risk of sounding too much like an elitist; the surgery is not very expensive and there are companies out there that specialize in medical loans. And it is half-price in Mexico if you want to take that risk. There are plenty of good and bad surgeons there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Krystle Lynn 0 Posted June 19, 2010 At the risk of sounding too much like an elitist; the surgery is not very expensive and there are companies out there that specialize in medical loans. And it is half-price in Mexico if you want to take that risk. There are plenty of good and bad surgeons there. I do understand this, however, for someone like me, being 23 years old and experiencing the health-related issues I am already having, not to mention what's worse - What's to come if I can't get it taken care of - I am desperate for this surgery. I am not willing to take a chance in Mexico, nonetheless. I would not put my life at that great a risk. As for the "inexpensive" surgery, if you would be interested in paying the $16,000 for me to have it, please feel free. I, on the other hand, could not afford that in many, many moons...no matter how long I saved up. I'm just beginning to feel that ping of "ouch" in my heart, as I hear "No" so many times. I mean, it's hard hearing it over and over again...regarding financing, my insurance won't do it, etc. etc. etc. I am trying to stay strong, but I can't help but get down about this.
