This is so awesome because I have PCOS and want to get the Band very bad. Thanks for the information! Kitty

I am 5'2 and 222lbs with Multiple Sclerosis. I have been wanting to get Lap Band surgery for many years. My neuro doc told me I could after I am on treatment for 12 mos. But does anyone know if this will be a problem for me? Kitty

Thanks:clap2:

Thanks Kitty

I am going threw the hoops to get the lap-band. Will having M.S. hurt or help my chances to get my insurance to pay? Any opinions?:sick Kitty

can I get a self loan to pay for it? Will I have to see a nutritionist, therapist, and psyc? Or can I just find a doctor and get it done with cash? I do know in Mexico you only have to be 20lbs over weight but I am assuming in US I still have to have a 40 bpm, right? Kitty:faint:

Thanks so much for giving me your opinion. Kitty :moony:

Thanks for the info ladies! Kitty

Thanks for that info! I guess because of my insurance I have to see an nutritionist, psyc doc, and therapist before I even get sent to my surgeon. ahh the hoops we have to go threw. Kitty (Healthnet HMO)

Thank you so much! You are right I just assumed it was my weight. So yes I will go to obgyn. Thanks Kitty

Ya I too have to go threw 6 months of nutri. couseling. I'm not sure if I am going to have to pay for it or not. Anyone know? Kitty (Healthnet HMO)

So if your hungry and start over eating again thats when you get a fill? Kitty (Healthnet HMO)

How much are lap band fills without insurance? 1000.00? If my insurance does cover it how much? Kitty (Healthnet HMO):nervous

I do think this is a very good question. I am 5'2 at 220 and dont have a regular period. I think because my weight is so high. But anyhow someday I would like to get pregnant so I was so happy to hear you could get pregnat after having the Lap Band. Kitty ( Healthnet HMO)

Are there some psyc doctors that are against weightloss surgeries? Kitty (Healthnet HMO)
