What in the world starts from here. I decided that this is what I need.. I can't hardly walk without my lower back hurting... I can't breathe anymore, I can't tie my shoes, hardly anything I can't do it any longer.... So excited. each trip will cost around $150 in just gas not including the surgery itself....

I have my consultation Friday Sept. 21. I can barely wait to get there.

I literally just walked out my consultation. Alot of testing on my part but my doctor told me I should wait for the approval letter from my insurance company before I rack up on bills. Other than that my evaluations are scheduled for next week. Hope all goes well

Good luck to you!!!! R u willing to self pay if your insurance doesn't pay?

Get questions to ask your surgeon.Length of stay in hospital, how many types of surgery he/she done,lapband versus bypass results, how many visits in post op are included in the original cost. Some insurance cover all fills for a year if on lapband.

Take a pen,pecil, notepad and TURN your cellphone to vibrate or OFF.

Well its definitely worth the money ... most likely yes I would!

I was wondering the types of questions even though most of the things you listed I have found the answers on here, but it won't hurt to hear it from him, can you think of anymore questions?
