Went with True Results! If no insurance (cash customer) its $250 one time transferr fee and $240 for 6-months of fill survice. Thats like $80 a month! 512-610-1660

Hi, I just moved to Austin, Tx from California. I am looking for a Fill doctor in the general area. If anyone can point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it. If you know contact info and costs that would be super as well. Dave

Great, I guess I will take some time off and go get a fill.

It seems every 10 lbs or so my weightloss comes to a stand still and I need a fill to get it going again? Is this normal?

I had no pain at all. My did experience some minor discomfort at the surgical sites when I switch positions while sleeping. As well as very minor gas. I think I really got off easy. I started walking 1 mile a day today.

Ok I am freaking starving now! I couldn't resist and ate some mash potatoes with lots of gravy (thats pretty liquidy!), about 1/2 cups worth and I feel full. Did I screw up? Was it to early? Last thing I want to do it screw up my band or something. Advise please

Hi all, I'm a May Bandster! I'm going under the knife on my daughters B-day, she is none to happy but thats life ....... I am SO excited and alittle nervous!

APPROVED!!!!!!!!! Surgery is scheduled for 24 May 2010 (my daughters B-day haha). Wish me luck!!

Called Aetna on Friday but its still pending. I hope when I check tomorrow (Monday) it will be approved!!!!

See what happens when you mind wonders and thinks of questions; then decide to ask/post it. Dare not ask another .........

Ok I think some if not all has gotten the wrong idea from this post. I simply asked has anyone done it or know anyone that has. I never said I was going to, so RELAX. Don’t read more into a post than what is there.

Has anyone ever Faked Comorbid conditions to help speed along the Lap Band approval process?

I work in a pretty small area, I would say 50 sq ft. And we have a TV we can watch when the job gets boring (the reason I am fat, ok maybe not the only reason). So about 4 guys were sitting in chairs (chairs with wheels) watching TV, one was my best friend. I came in to work and grabbed a chair. I sat in it and rolled over to the TV area. A tape (Computer system backup) mount popped on the computer and I grabbed two tapes and begain to roll over to the tape drives (maybe 3 feet away). Just then my so called "best friend" said: "beeep, beeep, beeep ...". Like you hear when a garbage truck is backing up or something. Everyone looked and laughed. He said he didn't mean it in that way but it hurt so bad. Wow I almost cried just reliving that to type it out.

Wow this southern California Radio Station is giving away a free Lap Band procedure including 12 month of after care!!!!! I just entered the contest and hope I win. I am not sure if I can post the name of the Radio Station and a link so until a mod says its cool you will have to PM me for it. Dave
