I had my surgery in August with a doctor in Olympia, WA, but I am really tight and live in Redmond. I was wondering if you knew if he did his fills (or in my case an unfill) under fluoro. I am going to call tomorrow, but thought you might have the answer tonight.

Thanks in advance.

I hope all is going well with you since your banding. I live 4 hours away from Bend, so I was looking for some online support from others who have been banded in Bend.

Best wishes.

I just moved to Bend a month ago and I start a new job December 1st. I am not sure what health insurance they have or if it covers any type of weight loss surgery. I don't qualify for benefits until after 90 days. I want to get this process going but am currently low income without insurance. Any help out there? I will be praying, thanks!

Good luck with your new job and congrats on moving to Bend. I hope everything works out for you :thumbup: I would recommend finding out what insurance u will have and then u can go to their website to see their medical policies on gastric bypass surgery. Also the employer should be able to give u a book of which procedures would be covered.. That is a place to start anyway.. stay in touch and welcome to bend :lol:

Well I'm somewhat discouraged because I just found out that my employer doesn't provide health insurance only some kind of medical discount program or something which i'm sure doesnt cover it. And I for sure can't afford it on my own. I heard Dr. Koning was good here in Bend. But my options are slim so I don't know where to go or what to do...

Gosh im sorry for that disheartening news.. There are still some options as far as financing goes if you can get a loan and then make monthly payments. i know one is care credit. Other is to get private insurance if you can, and one that would cover the surgery. Gl and please keep us updated.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
