Very valuable information in there huh ?   So many bandsters tell us they don't feel alone any more after reading all our experiences. We try to help as many as we can with insurance denials, appeals, diagnostics, ETC.

It's not a social gathering place ( like facebook ), although we welcome all the humor. The reason I tell people this is because it's not a busy forum, but if your patient and willing to do a lot of reading...you will learn some amazing information, and our members will help you, once they check in and see your post.

I encourage everybody that wants to post a question, to PM me or another moderator with a " Heads Up ", so that I know there is a post over there awaiting a reply. I have other lap band forums I help out on, so sometimes I can go for days without checking in on that particular forum.

Every since I came back to this forum, I can't read it either.
It cut's off the right side.  I can't figure out how to fix it or if it
is just there problem.
Or do you mean you can't read it at all?
