WannaBeABrickHouse Posted September 12, 2005 Report Share Posted September 12, 2005 Should I tell any other doctors about my lap band? I've heard that if this information goes into my permanent record (whereever that is) I could have problems getting new life insurance, health insurance, etc. in the future. It seems unnatural to not tell my doctor I've had a major medical procedure, but I don't want it haunt me my entire life either. Any one else have this issue?

Guest Veronica Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 I had never heard of that but I am interested in seeing what everyone says. I did tell my doctor. He never told me anything about it. In fact, he was happy because my problems with diabetes are practically gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennaR Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 I didn't tell my doctor. Mainly because I had met so much resistance and ignorance about going to Mexico for it. Told him when I had it done and shut the conversation down when it went negative. I have new health insurance after I got banded and have had no problems. But then again, I don't have any band related problems either. As far as life insurance goes, they actually made mine at a LOWER rate since I was no longer in the Obesity category. All depends on the company though I guess. Hope these experiences helped! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
