Good Morning, I am considering having the lap band surgery done and was looking on the internet to find a place I could go and see what other people are saying about the procedure and any complications anyone has had. I came across this site and from what I have seen so far, I think it is very informative. I really do enjoy seeing what you all have to say, the good and the bad.

I have attended one seminar already and have an appointment with the nurses and surgeon later in December. I have already checked with my insurance company and the procedure is covered but the Dr. and facility I am going to are not covered so I will have to pay first then get reimbursed later.

Well that's it for now, back to some more reading.

This truly is an awesome site for gathering information. Welcome to LBT, and feel free to ask any unanswered questions, we are a helpful bunch, if a little goofy at times!!!

This is the place to get lots of information. Also if you get on some of these discussion threads it really improves your typing skills. (what a bonus)

Danielle, I joined for the same reason you did, to gather information. This is a great place. I have my appointment with the doctor next week. I'm so pumped over it, I am just keeping my fingers crossed and holding my breath for the insurance to approve it......

Welcome!

Danielle,

Just a word of caution - that pay up front and get reimbursed by your insurance later plan rarely works. Most all insurance plans have specific steps you have to take in order to be approved. If you don't follow those steps, they will not pay.

Good luck!
