To be honest, I haven't thought about my lapband for a while. It's there, it keeps me feeling full, and occasionally reminds me it is still there.<\/p>\n
However, you're supposed to do regular maintenance. I was going to Forest Park Medical in Dallas for lap band fills, and the last time I was there, probably over a year ago, they said it was fine and that they wouldn't put any more in it. I didn't really want them to, was just in for a check.<\/p>\n
I just called the number I had for lapband fills, and it goes to some kind of billing department. Very interesting.<\/p>\n
So if you keep up with the news in Dallas, Forest Park Medical center has shut down and there have been over 21 people implicated in an indictment. The major people advertising bariatric surgery are on the list so I was convinced my surgeon was one of them. Especially since there is another doctor with the same last name on the list.<\/p>\n
Good news, it's a different doctor. I've got an email out to them now — seems he is even in network with my insurance.<\/p>\n
