I have lost 42 lbs since banded. Love the band!!! :thumbup:

I don't believe that it covers it. I am pretty sure that they don't take medicaid or any welfare insurance. I would call you insurance holder and just ask to see. That would be a more realistic answer for your case.

I know it is very hard. I try to stay focused. Especially don't want to give in with all the hard work that everyone puts into losing.

Banded Sept. 10, 2008

Congrats on the weight loss. Thanks and keep in touch.

Thanks lynn. Who was your dr.? Mine is Dr. Oldham in lexington kentucky.

I would just like to say hello to everyone. I have been viewing the site for awhile and finally registered. I am still adjusting to my new lifestyle change. I was banded on Sept. 10, 2008. I am almost on week 3. My post op appointment is on Oct 8, 2008 and I am hoping i will get a fill then. I did not get one the day of my surgery. I must say that this is a whole new experience for me. I am hoping this will be the journey of a lifetime.:thumbdown: I am welcome to any information that anyone would like to give me.
