Tonight is my seminar night! I am sooo excited! Wish me luck! Does anyone know the the approximate time from seminar to surgery if there are no insurance issues??:wink2:

Hi Tracyde! This is Becky in Arizona. I'm going to a seminar this morning. I hope we both learn a lot. I'm looking forward to asking questions. This is probably not the Doc I will use because he isn't on my insurance but I figured I'd go to the seminar anyway. Is your seminar by the Doc you will be using? I have an appt with my PCP next Wed. That is making me nervous. I hope he refers me to a surgeon quickly. Enjoy your seminar. Will probably see you here later today or tomorrow.:biggrin:

Good luck to you too! I think I will be using this surgeon because he's in my plan and I've heard good things about them. We'll see later...

Well, I went to the seminar. It was put on by their patient advocate who is a lady who has a band and has lost over a hundred pounds in just over a year. Very interesting. She showed us the band and port itself wrapped of course around a fake stomach. I am glad that I went but I found that I knew most of what she said from researching on the net. I hope both of you geta lot out of your seminar. Then I guess it's on the the Docs and we'll all see what they say. Keep us posted.

I am a self pay so I am sure it will be different. I went to my first seminar Jan 29th and my surgery is this coming Tuesday the 19th.. Now it may sound quick but I have been researching this procedure online and thru friends for 18+ months while saving money for the procedure.

Ok...I attended the mandated seminar and now I'm 110% sure that the Lap Band is for me. My mind is at ease over the surgery & the anesthesia....no more worries. BUT...we got a list of BC/BS requirements and 1 is the 6 month supervised weightloss from a doctor. I am so mad!! I don't want to wait 6 months. Is there a way around it at all?? I've been going to a Psychiatrist for years and he has documentation of my weight loss tries thru him (pills, therapy, etc). Will that help me instead? It's not once a month for 6 months, but its probably every 3 months for the past few years. Will that help instead? I know he'll write a letter. Help!!!???:D

      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.
