Hi Everyone!

I am Charlene..36 yrs old..Married..Full time Mom to 6!

I have seen my dr about getting the lapband..now I have my psych eval on the 17th of Nov..and see the dietician the 19th of Nov. Doc says if all goes well I will be on the losing side by the end of the yr!

I was wondering if anyone has Encore Insurance and if so can you tell me about how long it took to get approved and stuff like that.

Hugs!

Charlene

Hi Charlene, welcome!!

Wow, a full-time mom to 6!! I'm in awe of you. I'm sure you need every ounce of energy and stamina you can get, and banding will help you get there. Please ask any questions you need to; don't be shy.

I've never heard of Encore insurance. Does your doctor have any idea whether it covers banding? If he's in a network with them it should be fairly easy for him to find out. Good luck!!!

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
