Topic: Anxiously Awaiting banding>>>
Hi I'm new to the Iowa site, but been on the lap band message boards a while.I have Dr.Glas****In August my 6moth supervised diet will be over and waiting for Medicaid to approve me .Although Medicare will pay the biggest share of it, Medicaid will pick up the difference, anyone else have the same situation..I was told by the Dr. office it usually takes about week to 10 days for a approval(crosses fingers its approved).I gained 2 pounds in the 6 moth process. will that hurt me any on the approval side of things?i have month and half to get that off and more if possible..SleepinDove6...

Topic: RE: surgery in Mexico need fills in Iowa/Illinois!!
oops- sorry- just saw the dates- i hope your surgery went smoothly and you found a doc for fills!
Topic: RE: surgery in Mexico need fills in Iowa/Illinois!!
The whole fill ordeal is the reason I went with the VSG.
If you are certain you want the band you have a couple choices,
Fillcentersusa.com
or possible the doctors in Grinnell, Iowa.

The doc in Des Moines, Dr Eibes, will not do fills for Mexican patients but the docs at Grinnell were willing to talk to me before I changed my mind to have the VSG
Good Luck

Sorry I'm not sure how to post my own message..Dr. G is my surgeon and I was wondering after surgery, how long before he allows us to get our first fill.Anyone know....
Topic: RE: Question for those of you who had to do 2 wk preop liquid diet.
Hi I have not started my two weeks liquid but from what I have heard Dr ,G is very strict, he wants his patients to be able to follow his instructions after the Banding or RnY surgery,I guess its for our own good, nothing worth while is worth working for,,I'll do it if I have to do 6 weeks of Liquids.Lord help me lol...............P.S.this is my first time to Iowa message boards..
