yellow rose, I went to a seminar at true results in scottsdale the dr is dr nirmul
the scottsdale bariatric center one I did online today with dr blackstone. I chose Dr Nirmul becasue I am self-pay and it is going to be 16500.
Good luck
Hi I haven't posted much but have been reading TONS of information, I attended a seminar by true results/dr nirmul saturday and also did a web based one w/ dr blackstone today, I have my diagnostic appt set up for 2-13 w/ dr nirmuls office and the paperwork is already filled out since I am self pay they told me that at the consult appt, I can set a surgery date 2 weeks later and start the pre op then..I am excited to get this started:)
Hope to be talking to more of you as my band time gets closer..
Peace
Tammy
I thought about it for a fraction of a sec, then decided no, if I want cheap I will go to dr kirschenbaum in coloradop everyone speaks so highly of him, however upon further research, I have determined flying back for the cost of fills or joining a "program" here in az for fills makes it about the same as ahving it here, I would rather be close to who ever does the surgery for fillos, emergencies, questions, whatever
Havent been to her seminar yet, still scheduled for the dr nirmul one on 2-2 dr blackstone was more expensive they quoted me for self pay 20675(hospital) or 19100(outpatient) that is a few thousand more than dr nirmul @ true results..decisions decisions
Hi, I am new and have been researching the lap band quite a bit..
My insurance excludes wls and I will have to finance...
I am thinking about Dr blackstone or dr nirmul at true results I have my seminar appt 2-2 at true results, any comments on either of these docs, I am surprised by the fact that you go home same day, I am a little freaked out by that, what if something goes wrong when I get home? I take several meds and am worried about not being able to swallow them anymore..I have sleep apnea, high blood pressure and fibromyalgia.
The whole food getting stuck thing freaks me out as well, and so does the thought of having a cathedar!
I guess I am a big chicken in general.
Any advice or comments about docs or ??
Thanks
