  1. Good evening friends. In June 2007, I got the Lap Band with Dr. Rodriguez in Mexico. Due to my own foolishness, I did not have any success with it. Last year, I tried the controversial HCG diet then got hardcore into exercise and went from 350 lbs to 235 lbs. Last summer, I began experiencing unbearable pain in the area by my band. I would have to lie down at times. It happened for about 2 weeks then subsided. The pain has returned. I am at the point now where I just want it gone. I will admit I have abused this thing by drinking soda, etc. Now I am just looking for someone locally to get it done. Does anyone here know where I can get it done and approximately how much cash I will have to pay? Also, will a lot of insurance companies cover this procedure if it is "medically necessary"? Thank you!
