Well I live in Key West and I called Hollywood Fl. Bariatric center they sent me information and a check list of what I need. Then I notified my insurance company to ask all the question that I needed to know before I made my 1st consultation appointment. Sol far Everything is ok. My insurance is paying for it. They said I don't need a pre approval because it's an out patient procedure and they pay for the lapband. After I see the Psychologist and he approve me. I should be ok. I'm hoping I have it done no later than the week after my 2nd appointment. I can't wait. Everyone here have me excited.

From what I have heard Hollywood Bariatric is really good. I chose Dr. Wizman because he is also good and closer to my home. Good luck!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
