Guest guest Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Hiya IngridSome surgeons will reband at a lesser cost - mine didnt, still had to pay the same price. I just didnt have to do the whole package deal with the dietician etc. Some surgeons I have heard will do a rebanding for a reduced cost. You really have to ask - its impossible to even speculate on what their policy might be. You will be fine tho - I cant imagine why they wouldnt reband with your lower bmi.

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 IngridI dont know how forceful a personality you are - but perhaps you need to call back again and speak to the nurse and get a bit strong. Explain the situation - its reasonable, you are doing this for no other reason than convenience. My surgeon is out at Baulkham Hills - its a journey and a half for me, but when I was first banded over 5 years ago this was pretty much the only option I had as most of the surgeons were out went with the exception of one in the city. Now I just accept the travel time, but he is accessible and he has a fantastic team etc. Keep plugging away - we will get there eventually!!

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Hey Guys That is excellent news about Ingrid. I also have some news, last night I was reading the new Bridges book "crunch time" and realised that she had written about me in her book. I was so surprised that I had made an impact on a person like this. Mind you this was just before my op and was quiet depressed. I have scanned a copy of the story onto my computer and are happy to send it to whoevers email who wants a read. For those of you who have the book I am the story of page 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
