Met the surgeon. He had a whole schpiel about Bariatric surgery. My BMI is low enough to make the LapBand work for me but high enough for RNY to be an option. He said he'd go either way with me since I'm not diabetic and my blood pressure is just on the boarderline. So the desicion is still mine. That made me happy! I was worried I was going to be pushed into bypass and I really don't want that...
So the Realize Band is the band this surgeon likes.
A few days after my appointment, a person from the surgeon's office called and asked about my insurance coverage. She said she was going to request my records from my PCP and send me in the info for approval. I didn't think it'd be this fast!! Who knows though, I probably won't pass the first round anyway, right?
