I'm confused. Which band does JJ market? And if the Lap Band AP is the newest, how do you know it's the most effective?

Meaning you lose more with the Lap Band AP?

I am not medicated for high cholesterol, but have tried dieting with the nutritionist because of the cholesterol issue. I am approximately 38-39 BMI.

High cholesterol, chronic lower and upper back pain, PCOS.

Thanks for the information. I will definitely discuss this with my doctor.

Thank you for your response. Claws? That sounds scary. Can't it move out of place? Doesn't it hurt?

I read some posts, but still don't get it. What's the differences between the Realize vs the lap band? Thanks

Thanks for the information. How does it work with the nutritionists? Are they part of the program? Do you need to pay? Do they take the same insurance as Dr Bessler?

Thank you. Anyone else with info?

Is PCOS considered a comorbidity in order to be approved through insurance? Thanks

Any more information on Dr Bessler? Are you happy with support post surgery? How is he with fills?

Does anyone have any info on Dr Marc Bessler? I think he is with Valley Hospital.

I tried checking BCBS' site and can't find the info I'm looking for. Is anyone familiar with how it works in NY? I am on a PPO plan. I have over 6 month documentation from my nutritionist. Do they have a BMI limit? Thanks for any info you can provide me with.

Hi! Clocking in at 240+ and desperate to do lap band surgery. I just got the go ahead from my nutritionist as well as my therapist. I am trying to find as much information, the plus, minus of doing lap band surgery. So any and all advice would be appreciated! Thanks
