Aloha,

My husband and I have been here in Honolulu since January 1st and we are LOVING it. We both have had lap band. He is on HMSA but they do nto cover fills, and I currently have no insurance but I think I am looking at a slipped band.

Does anyone know of lap band doctors in the area with reasonable fees for fills since we have no insurance? I am trying to wait to see if I go permanent and get insurance before dealing with mine.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!!
Deanna

 Welcome to Hawaii Deanna and Hubby!

Dr.  Steven Fowler at Castle Medical Center is my lapband doctor.  HMSA covers my fills, so I'm not sure how much it is with a plan that doesn't cover it... but give Darrah a call (263-5176) and she can give you more information.

Good luck to you!

Aloha,
Nicole
