  1. Thank you and are very sorry for the troubles u are having . I work with the state of maryland so I dont think the employer will be the problem . I didn't use them to have my lap band put on . I have been going to a diet doctor for 2 years now never lost over 10 lbs and I also have my proof of my gym memember ship so I am hoping that will help and my bmi is 44 so I hope it works in my favor
  2. If you guys dont mind me asking did your insurance give u a problem? and did they consider your band removal another weight loss surgey ? I go to see my doctor on friday to see about band removal and get the sleeve .

  6. Hi everyone ! I got my lap band in may 2006 not so lucky with that ! I have really been reading about the sleeve and i have my appointment set for friday aug 10th to talk to my doctor . I guess my one thing is did anyone insurnance give them problems because of failure with the band ? I have united health care epo(the new ppo) . I work for the state of maryland and got the best packet they had. Just hope you guys and girls can tell me any insurance stories so I have a idea of what look foward too! Thank you all and best of luck in everyones weight loss journy !
  7. Hi I am getting ready to start in this new journy in my life . I had the lap band put on in may 2006 maybe lost 50lbs at most and now I am really thinking about the sleeve. I go for my first appointment on 8/10/12 (cant wait)! I guess I am asking anyone who has united (i have the most exsenise one the epo) . I guess I am wondering how other peoples made out with united health . I did not have united with my lapband ,so this is a new ball game for me ! Please feel free to leave any messages to help me out !
