Cough...considering sleeve

[Guest guest]

Okay, I am pretty much convinced, I want the sleeve, if nothing more, to get rid

of this cough. Someone in a previous post said something about 10,000 for the

" changeover " . Is she assuming that she only has to pay for a sleeve and not pay

to get the band removed? OR, has the price for a revision dropped from 12,500

(my last quote) to 10,000?

This would be nice because the cost was a determining factor. I read some of my

previous posts and realized that I DID have a cough before my lumbar surgery, it

just did not surface at the time as I had been on Nexium for 2 months and the

cough had gone away before my surgery, only to show it's ugly head after getting

pneumonia after surgery in the hospital. My chest x-ray pre-op was clear, so

workers comp cannot blame the pneumonia on the lapband (whew!!)

If no one can quote me the cost of the revision, can someone give me a phone

number to call Dr. A's team (I seem to have lost it)

All my best and thanks for all your input, Jeanie
