Nervous-Band is scheduled for May 23rd!



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, I'm new to the site and have my Lap-Band scheduled for May 23rd. I've been looking forward to this since last fall when I was first seen. I got sidetracked when I couldn't pass the cardiology consult and ended up having a cardiac cath with a stent placed. I found out around 2 weeks ago that my insurance (Humana) approved my procedure, had a pre-op last week with my surgery being scheduled for this Friday. It's all happened so fast, which I am not complaining, I just can't believe it is going to happen. I will be having the surgery at Central Baptist Hospital in Lexington Ky with Dr. Weiss. I look forward to any words of wisdom that anyone would like to share.:(

Wel I have no words of wisdom, I am still waiting myself. I don't even see the doctor until June 10. BUT Dr. Weiss is also going to do my surgery ( I hope) but I can have it done close to home in Mayfield, Ky., he comes here a couple days a month. :thumbup: So I wish you good luck on yours and will be waiting to hear your words of wisdom! You can let me know if Dr. Weiss is as good as I heard he was. Lots of luck and please keep me posted!

Do you work for the state? I also have Humana and am looking forward in getting the lapband at Central Baptist by the same doctor. I have to wait 6 months. Good Luck and please keep me posted.

No,,I am an apartment manager. I have insurance thru my husband, Anthem, Blue cross Blue Shield. I know my insurance will pay, i called and asked them. I just have to wait for all the pre-op stuff and get it approved for sure. I think I have enough prove from my regular doctor that I have tried dieting without success for over 6 months. But I still might have to go on a 6 month diet for Dr. Weiss. Does he ask you to do this,,or is it for insurance. ( I have got to cut my nails it is taking me forever to type after spell checking everything Ha ha) I live in Benton Ky. (west Ky)

My husband has insurance from the state. The 6 months was required by my insurance. Dr. Weiss wants you to go on a high Protein diet 2 weeks before surgery. He seemed very nice and both drs. have a great reputation.

Thanks for the information. I have heard nothing but good things about the doctors, Weiss & Oldam, and the bad things get around fast so I think we have good doctors. The nurse that heads the bariatric group at the hospital I am going to is also very nice. I met her at he seminar but she emailed me and called me with information before I went. I think we will do great!

      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.
