Guest guest Posted February 14, 2002 Report Share Posted February 14, 2002 : As long as the band is still working - definitely keep it on!! That's great. Only a couple more wks maybe in it. It also sounds like you may be getting somewhere with your insurance battle, at least now you have the FDA on your side, that SHOULD help. Good luck with it. Let us know when Tucker graduates! Debbie Abby's mom DOCGrad MI > well everyone.tucker had an appt and was supposed to be discharged but the band is still working so on feb 27 we have an appt for discharge (maybe!!) also. the fda has gotten back in contact via email and stated that it is no investigational/experimental and that if i have further problems i may have the insurance company or whoever else i must deal with call her directly! also our docband clinic gave me a company to help me with my insurance fiasco..i will aske them if they are out of wisconsin only or if they do all the states and if i may post their number for anyone who needes it > > brenda > mom of tucker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2002 Report Share Posted February 28, 2002 Wow - That's great about the help you are receiving. Sorry that Tucker hasn't officially graduated yet, but that will come very soon. I hope you will keep us informed of how the abc health thing goes - it sounds like something that could be really helpful to other plagio parents down the line as well.
