How much is the cost of the lap band surgery without insurance (self pay)? Which doctor did your surgery?

Hey yall. Im new to this. =] I have a few questions if you don't mind answering. I would appreciate it. Thanks. A little back ground history.... Im 20 years old. I live in AL. I have been over weight all my life pretty much. I have tried diet after diet. I would lose weight and gain it right back. =[ I searched the internet and found out about the lap band. Im looking into having it done. I have a bmi of 36. I have fallen into the obese category after I had my now 8 month old daughter. Im thinking about applying for Aetna insurance. I have heard that it covers the lap band? How long did you have to wait untill having your lap band surgery after getting the Aetna insurance? I read on the Aetna website that their insurance will not cover any pre exsisting health problems. Would that mean they will not cover the lap band since I have been over weight all my life? Also, what steps did you have to take in order to have the lap band procedure? Thanks a million yall.
