@mydonald45 lol I thought that was what she said too rofl

Yeah, probably not a good idea to watch before surgery, but it is what it is. I am just praying I am not the 1 in 2000 (fatality rate) My BMI is 37 and I have Obstructive Sleep Apnea. I have a counseling session this week and I am GOING FOR IT!
-
guys, don't get this surgery. my mom's best friend's daughter died as a result of it.
-
Maybe I shouldn't watch this before I get banded on Friday ... hmm
-
@ultraviolet94 Isnt it scary to see the same surgery happening in front of your eyes now?
-
I was just recently banded, and this is fascinating! I didn't know why they put a board under my feet just before I went under...now I know it's because they adjust the angle of the table and it basically gives you something to stand on. Thanks so much for posting this.
-
@trenadawn Yes I believe so, they only request that it has been documented with your primary doc that you tried to lose weight on your own for at least 6 months.
-
do you take medicaid
-
What was the turn-around time for Tricare to approve you? I'm a 33 BMI: I'm not sure they'll approve me.
-
Tricare approved my surgery and my BMI is 42.1
-
i'm 26 and my BMI is 35.7 and i get the lap band
-
Wow!!!
I'm 48.1, I'm looking forward to getting
lap band later on this year.... I hope they don't tell me that.
I'm with tri care, my hubby is in the army, but I do know that they will only allow a bmi of 32 to 50, some will only allow 50 and over.
I need this surgery bad, I'm 22 and 280 lbs. I've had problems all my life with my weight, I lost weight and went down to 131, then 150... 190... 230... now 280.
-
having problems with my insurance,
-
I'm 48 BMI and was told I'm not suitable, the nurse thinks I'm just a big bloke. I'm off to see another doc and then a specialist in January..
-
By far the most informative and relevant video of all. The advice on part 5 what one could do post op is particulary valid. Recently banded 8/7/08 and I wish I had all this information before.
0:10-today we will be bringing you a lap-dance performed by doctor Steven Malay...lol
