From excited to total frustration!!
I just had my lapband surgery this past Monday... so I am on day 2 with my band. I had it done at Tallgrass in Topeka with Dr. James Hamilton. I didn't have to do any supervised diet for insurance purposes, as I had documentation of all the things I have tried in the past. I had to have a psych eval and have all the pre-surgical testing done, but it wasn't all that bad. I started this process in February, so I can't complain about the time it has taken. My surgery went well, I am still loaded on pain killers, (thank gawd) but I am very positive about the change that I have made. I hope you can find a hospital that doesn't give you so much grief... I hate how politics and bureaucratic BS seem to weave their way into our healthcare system. Good luck to you!!! If you would like chat feel free to email me!
