  1. Hello everyone. I am new to this website and I am desperately trying to find some way to have LapBand surgery; however, I just don't have the money available. The procedure, I was told, cost approximately $13,00 and Insurance WILL NOT cover one penny of it. Does anyone know of any way to have this procedure done, maybe a trial or experimentation, or group, etc. I am working hard and making enough each month to get by but I cannot get a personnel loan and don't know what else to do. I am approximately 150 lbs. overweight and my health is at risk. I am NOT asking for a handout, just some information to help me get this surgery done. I appreciate any and all suggestions. Thank you, in advance. dbarry dorciebarry@aol.com
