I've noticed some have gone to Mexico for the surgery? Do you feel you'll get better treatment out of the US? I thought that some health care providers covered the lap band, but have quickly realized that some do not. Can you tell me the cost of the lap band?

Hello, first time to this fabulous website! I'm interested in having the lap band. From reading your notes, do I understand there is psychological background required and a liquid diet prior to the LB? Do you have to lose a percentage of weight before being considered as a candidate? Thank you for sharing your ideas and great enthusiasm!
