Hello Everyone! I loved reading your posts and seeing your inspiring pictures. I'm ready to be healthy too!! I had lap band surgery in Mexico last March and got pregnant just a few months (and a few pounds) later. My baby is 3 months old now and I'm completely healed and ready for a fill.  Can someone please assist me in finding a doctor that will perform a fill on me? I know some doctors will not do adjustments for those of us that had surgery outside of the US. I have BCBS Federal.  They told me they will cover the adjustment.... but honestly, if I have to pay out of pocket, I will. It's worth it to get back on track with my weight loss.  thank you all

Lea Anne

I had already checked with them. No where in a 100mile radius. I've found a doctor that will take me, but it's going to be $250 out of pocket... if I have to pay it, I guess I have to pay it...

Lea Anne - please contact Dr Raul Rosenthal @ Cleveland Clinic in Weston (not to far from you actually)

I know that they accept BCBS - Anita Houle is the insurance specialist. Ask for her and best of luck. Congrats on the new Baby too!
