First office visit today!



Recommended Posts

I am so excited. Had my first office visit today and found out my insurance BC/BS will pay for most of the procedure if they approve me. Need to do a 3 month diet first.

This is also the first time I post here. Before making my decision to choose lapband I read a lot of ur threads here and it helped me tremendously. So thank you guys. I look forward to reading more posts and keeping u posted of my procedure here.:wink:

Hey cent,

I was told that I need to call my insurance to find out how much I am going to pay. I went today to see the surgeon, however they still have not given me a date. He did say around the 3rd week of Dec. I think I will need to pay 20%. I will let u know when I find out.

      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.
