  1. I've been lurking LapBadTalk for awhile now and decided to start joining the group. I started the process in December and 1-800-get-thin and it all started out nicely. They were very attentive and put me thru a series of tests... Upper GI endoscope, sleep studies, Ultrasound, etc. Then they start adding different things that really doesn't have anything to do with the procedure at all like Colonoscopy and removing a gall stone I've had for at least 15 years. On top of that I was starting to be asked to repeat doctor visits I've already had on the same issues. The final straw was when I was scheduled for my colonoscopy yet the day before, I still not had the address to the location of the facility. I called several times and no calls were returned. This started to get really weird so I went over to oBand for consultation. Found out I didn't need those extra surgeries and in fact, the doctor at oBand recommend me NOT doing those until after the lap band procedure has been completed and I take some weight off. So today, I got my insurance approval and will have something schedule in the next day or two. YES! I have read many posts on here about the highly marketed 800-GET-THIN saying to avoid them. Add me to that list.
