I had my procedure done last Friday and am doing well. I found a good price on the lap band surgery but need to fine a doctor in the Columbus/Dayton aea. Is it had to find a doctor for fills?

Thanks!

Are you from dayton? Send me a pm and I can give you a couple of names. Congratulations on the good price. May I ask where and with who and how much? I am not banded as of yet cuz of wonderful insurance....gotta love it when the businesses use wls as an exclusion no matter what(specially when we have a barriatric unit where I work)

WASaBubble Butt.....yes I know about the policy having to be writtien to include it. Unfortunately they refuse to allow it. Four years ago when I started at the hospital we had BCBS and it was covered. Now we are forced to only have UHC and it is no longer covered. We thought that since they opened a bariatric unit that they would cover it. The hospital I work for is my no way in a position that they can not afford it. They are in the top of profits in this entire area. We have three hospitals and they just acquired another one. Not to include all the urgent cares and the surgery centers and the other satelite buildings they have and are building as we speak.

tch110...depending on where you are located there are several drs available who will fill on patients that they did not band. Dr Curry in cincinnati is one of them. There are a few in that area as well as a few in the dayton area. Dr C posts on here and reads our posts regularly! Very personable and knowledgable as well.
