I met with Dr. Boyce this morning and all went well, for the most part.
I have decided that the lap band procedure the is right surgery for me. Dr. Boyce is fine with that. However, he did say that about a year ago, John Deere Select set a policy that they would only cover lap band if there were contraindications to performing the traditional bypass surgery. For example, you had previous abdominal surgery that resulted in much scar tissue. Then they would approve lap band. Dr. Boyce didn't know if this was still the case. I hope not.
Anyway, I told Dr. Boyce that I wanted to go ahead and try for lap band approval. We'll see what happens.
