  1. The Band and Acid Reflux

    notimetowaist posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
    Last week I had my first visit with my surgeon and he told me that he would not do the lap band if I have acid reflux.:w00t: Which I am not sure I have, I get heartburn once or twice a week. Has anyone else had this problem or more problems with acid reflux after banding? Thanks

  2. Medically Necessary?

    Congrats!! When my time comes I hope it goes that easy for me!

  3. Medically Necessary?

    notimetowaist replied to pongomp's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
    Hi, I work for an insurance company and medically necessary means there has to be a health reason for the procedure, not just cosmetic. For example getting rashes or other skin irratations that won't go away or keep coming back. Hope that helps Sue

  4. Informational Meeting today

    notimetowaist posted a topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
    Hi, I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Sue and I live in Minneapolis, MN. I have about 115lbs to lose and I have tried every diet. I have been thinking about the lap band for a while and now I think I am ready to get serious. I am going to an informational meeting this morning at Abbott Northwestern Hospital. I would like to hear from anyone who used Abbott for their procedure. Thanks!

    Hi, Just starting my lapband journey and I am looking for a surgeon in Minneapolis. Any suggestions? Or any I need to stay away from. Thanks
