What about:
band fills
port slippage, flip, erosoin
emergency revisions
tpn or vitamin tranfusions
feeding tubes
stricture
annual labs and follow up visits
If you have surgery for example 12-30-11 will it cover the follow up?
Is it just ending coverage for the actual surgery procedure, or any treatment related to the surgery?
People seem to have taken the position "well I got mine, so I'm covered, and I don't have time to deal with anyone else" But, is that really true? Could this effect you too even if you are a post op?
These are things we need to know.
If anyone can gert clearance on this, please share so I can pass it along to my support group.

Check out The Pink Hanger website, they have a lot of $1 deals. Sign up for their email alerts or "like" them facebook. That is where I get my stuff lately. They have some nice things and you can't beat the prices!!
Protica website. I got some samples from them and the Sunkist, yes, you read that right, Sunkist Protein shot. It is whey isolate and only 2.5 oz. Since I don't like sweet things anymore, I think I have found my protein shake. I can get down that, it isn't the best but for it to be just 2.5 oz. I WILL get it down. They only sent me one of those, grape flavor. I am ordering a case of the grape and am hoping they will throw in enough so you guys can try it too! If you want to order anything from them, contact me. I am able to get it at wholesale. The Sunkist protein is around $46.00 a case where the general public pays over $60. I have to call a rep. to get the wholesale price.
Check out Kashi's Pizza, I cannot believe it either, we can eat pizza. A little carby but for me, I have been unable to get in enough calories or protein lately so I tried it. It is soooo good. Now, nothing like Pizza Hut but I can handle this!!
I am finally under 200 pounds!! YIPPEE!!!!

Lots of information. If you have something to share please do so! We always need new ideas!!
See you at the meeting!!

As I'm going on in my search for the perfect surgery/surgeon I'm realizing the importance of a great Primary Care doctor. Having just moved to Marietta a few months ago I know essentially no one in the area.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a primary care doc that is WLS patient friendly and knows what they're doing with labs, maintenance, etc?
Thanks in advance for any info you can offer!
Martina,
I admire you very much. You have been through alot and you are still pushing. I pray for you and think of you often. If you need anything please let me know!

Is this only for state residents or should you copy it to main forum too?
