Hi , I am on the waiting list ,,,, thank god... for my RnY gastric bypass. Hope I will get an appointment for surgery soon.. I am wanting to have it done because I have been waiting for about 3 months or more... Hope it's soon .. Wish me luck... for a quick appointment for surgery.... thanks everyone.. and good luck to all of you on your journeys....

Thank you very much for the info. I called my medicare office and they set me up with a secondary ins. company so that is all taken care of now...Thank you for taking the time to answer my cry for help..... Thanks again :thumbup:

HI, I don't know why but I have lost my will power to diet. I have been on my diet about a month or so and all of a sudden , I have no will power. I want to eat everything in the house. If I can't do it now, how in the world am I going to do it when I have my lap-band® surgery or before my surgery.. If any one has any suggestions please let me know... Thanks everyone....:sad:

My Message on the first one was suppose to say Medicare.. I need to find an insurance that will pay the other 20% of my medicare because my doctor has to have it up front before the surgery. If anyone knows a secondary insurance I can look into please let me know.. Thank you ......

I live in Russellville, Arkansas . If anyone out there knows a secondary insurance that I can take out to pay the remaining 20% that Medicare doesn't pay Please let me know so I can check into it.. I have to find an insurance that will help because I can't come up with the remainder of the bill and my doctor has to have it before surgery.. If any one has any ideas... PLEASE let me know.. Thank you very much.

Hi everyone, I am really worried because my medicare only pays 80% of the surgery and doctor visits. Does any one know of any secondary insurance I can get that will cover the other 20%. I live in Russellville, Arkansas. Please let me know if there is anything out there might help me.. Thank you so much.. :thumbup:

Hi, I live in Russellville, Arkansas and I have medicare Ins. I need another Insurance that will pay what medicare won't for the Lap_band surgery. Does anyone know of any insurance that I can check into for that. I am 5ft 5in. and weight 382 lbs. I hope some one out there can help me. Thanks.

Thanks, I will read lots. I get on here every day and read posts about the surgery and after the surgery. I hope I can do as well as other people have done with no complications... Good luck to you on your weight loss. I know you will do good with all of it... God bless...

Hi froggie, I am Sharon. I am almost 53 and have just started the process for the lap-band surgery. I have a lot of things wrong with me. High Blood pressure, Fribo, Hidal Herrnea, R.A., Asthma, C.O.P.D. and I am dibetic. I am worried about the surgery or really the complications, but I am more scared not to have it done. My doctor said if I have it I may get off of a lot of my meds.. That would be so great. Lose weight and get off some meds.. Yahoooo..... I am having trouble finding a physcaligest...for a one time thing for the surgery.. I don't know how to spell so I hope you can sound this stuff out..lol... I live in Russellville , Arkansas . I will be seeing Dr. John W. Baker.. My doctor said he is one of the best... Who is going to do your surgery ? I wish you all the best of luck and hang in there, I am sure everything will be fine. Thats what I tell myself also.. I hope to hear from you soon... God Bless you....:wink2:

I think everyone has the right to do what they feel is right for them. People have no right to judge anyone. The only way you could understand someone is walking in the shoes they walk in and that's not going to happen.. So, Yes I believe in the right to make your on choice...
