  1. Considering Lap Band

    Peggy D. posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
    I have made an appt. for initial consultation in Alexandria, Va. I am 5'2 and weigh 200. My BMI is 36.5. I am not sure if they will allow the surgery since I am not 100 lbs overweight. I don't have any real weight related health issues. I would be self pay because my insurance will not cover. I have read here that some have gone to Mexico for surgery. How much cheaper is it there? I think but correct me if I am wrong that my surgery would cost between 11 and 15k? Just wondering if I am wasting my time with the consult if it isn't allowed. Any info. would be appreciated. Thanks!
