MEDICARE BANDSTERS

Has anyone else been "abandoned" due to the new Medicare rules on fills and aftercare only at a "Center of Excellence"??? And if so, what are you doing? I have been calling around (doctors, Medicare, Hospitals) and basically everyone is turning me away because I am someone else's patient or shrugging and telling me "looks like your S.O.L. good luck".

Hi...I'd like to suggest you post also to the lap band forum here at obesityhelp - it's a very active and friendly board and I'm sure you'll get a lot of responses to your questions. You can find it by clicking the forums tab up top and then choose Lap Band from the Surgery Types Forums list. Best of luck in your endeavors! And you are MOST welcome to continue posting on other boards, as well - just that you'll find more of those with your surgery type on the other forum. :-) ~Tooter OH Staff
