Hello, I have been researching the Band and I came upon DS and its getting many positive reviews as far as success rates. After reading much about it seems t that people are able to eat normally with out gaining weight back and not vomiting. (loose stools for a while though)I read that vitamins are needed for ever though. I was just wondering what people have heard about it.

I am considering the band and I am started to realize that it may not be a no muss no fuss tool. There is a large possibility that I will another surgery. I was wondering how much does it cost to have a band removed, to have a port changed or to do any other surgical corrections. How much is it in the US? How much in Mexico? And if you are having a bad problem does you insurance company ever pay if you did self pay to get the band. IE removel or endo if you have to got to the emergency room.
