Hey Erin, Congrats on your surgery yesterday - I've been reading your posts pre-op and was thinking about u yesterday! I've not had my surgery yet so dont have an answer for you about your gas pains, sorry. Good luck with your band - I'm very excited about getting mine so I may have some questions for you in the hopefully not too distant future! Take care of yourself!

Hi, Dr. David Dyslin was recommended to me by my regular doc. Was wondering if anyone else in the Dallas/Ft.Worth area used him and what your experience was with him as your doc. Thanks.

Good luck Erin! Will be thinking of you!!:laugh:

Hi, I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) 2-1/2 months ago and have been on meds to correct it since then. I was wondering if anyone else had been on Thyroid meds when they enquired about lapband surgery and if they were approved by their insurance company. I am worried that I won't be approved because they may want to wait and see if the thyroid meds is gonna help with my weight loss first. The only thing that makes me optimistic is that this is a new condition (I've had bloodwork done several times in the last few years and thyroid was fine) and I've been overweight for forever. Any input welcome. Thanks.

Hey Heather... I checked out Dr Wade Barker's website earlier today and although they need to find someone who can spell properly to do their website, the information contained therein was quite informative ! I am going to see my regular doctor tomorrow afternoon for a referral and I wanna see who he recommends... so far I've heard good things about Dr. Wade Barker and also Dr. Jayaseelan in Plano... Will post who he recommends tomorrow after appt. :thumbup:

Hey you two, I have an appt scheduled with my regular doc tomorrow afternoon to have him refer me to a lapband surgeon. It feels good to finally start the ball rolling on this... I am guessing you two have already met with your lapband surgeon? I am gonna try to have my insurance cover the procedure but not sure if I will qualify :juggle:

Who is your insurance with Crzytchr? I heard it could take up to 90 days to get approved. Thanks

Hi, I have Unicare insurance and was wondering if anyone else here had their procedure covered through Unicare and how you got started on the whole process. Thanks
