Hi,
Yes, my co pay was $300 for the lap band surgery. I had to go on a liquid diet to lose 15 lbs but I only lost 11 lbs. The reason they want you to lose some weight is to lose the fat around your liver. The fat can get in the way of the surgery. I had my surgery at Lahey Clinic in Burlington.

Hi everyone!
Had my lap RNY on 5/18. Home from the hospital on the 20th. I've been trying to take it easy, but feel like I have a new full time job ~ consuming fluids and protein ;)
So far, everything is great. Some minor physical inconveniences (phlebitis, soreness, inability to sleep at night), but overall, I'm feeling well and optimistic about what the coming weeks with bring.
Nice to (virtually) meet you and I'm looking forward to your support (and offering my own) during this journey.

does it cover the lap band and how much weight do you have to loose in order to get the surgery
Topic: RE: Hair Loss
It's normal and lasts for about 3 months ...so the "rule" is pretty much if it starts at 3 months, expect it to last till 6 months post op ...or if it were to happen at 6 months post op, expect it to last till 9 months post op. And so on....
I did lose a lot but never took any extra vitamins. The biotin was too big for me to swallow (I am the worse pill taker) ....so I chopped my hair short and kept a short cut for a while. It's now way past my shoulders again and growing out and pretty much back to normal.

Hi, I Live in Peabody, MA and had lap band surgery in 2006. I don't know about your insurance but I can answer any questions you might have about the lap band.

Each insurance plan is written differently. You'll need to call your plan and ask. Mass has some really good hospitals thought. Good luck
