Still no news on if I am approved or not.  We had a benefits fair at work and I spoke w/ the rep for my insurance and she said I shouldn't have any problem.   I am not a very patient person so this is a good learning experience for me.  Hope all is well w/ you.
What did your surgeon require you to do prior to your surgery?

Hi there!

I love my lap band! I will be a year post-op next month and I can honestly say this is the best gift I could have ever given myself. I hope you get approved! Let me know what happens.

I didn't have insurance, so I was cash pay. I used care credit and I just pay a monthly payment. Very convenient.

Good luck!

Hi Nichole,
You are the first Lap Band person I have seen in this forum so far.  I go to my surgeon tomorrow to see if I will be approved for the Lap Band.  How are you finding working with the Lap Band?  I am so nervous I can hardley stand it.  Did you have any problem with your insurance approving you?

Topic: RE: Went to Atkinson's seminar Monday...
 Make sure you do ALL your research before doing anything. I went to his seminar too and they never mentioned a surgery called a VSG. That is what I ended up going with and am VERY VERY happy that I found it before making a final decision. I asked them about it and they said they will not be preforming this type of surgery any time soon. I think that really sucks! The VSG is a fantastic surgery.  I have a video testimonial I did for my surgeon on youtube. You can probably find it under  Dr. Alvarez. I think. I am not real good with computers.

Topic: RE: Am thinking about moving to Nevada....questions...
 I move here from Oahu about a year ago and I love, love, love Nevada!  I didn't think I would, but I really feel like this is HOME.  I live north, near Reno.  Lot's of Hawaiians in the Vegas area, but you probably already knew that.

Based on my (mostly negative) three years of living on Oahu, let me tell you, the people here are nicer, the schools are great and the weather is pretty darn good too!  There are all generalizations, but we found, for us, a little piece of heaven and we couldn't be happier.
