well...i am back...i was so disappointed when i wanted to have lapband a couple years ago and could not get the money gathered up. Well good news...(for me at least) my employer has just informed me that in November they will cover lapband proceedure!!!! I am super excited! that gives me the most part of a year to get my deductibles saved up and get things ready - because i will be in line on November 1st!!!!! think good thoughts for me folks - I really want this to happen!

thank you so much! i really appreciate the support!

i wanted to have it done in 2010 - and my insurance didn't cover it and I tried all sorts of ways to get it and came up short - and now I just found out that my employer is adding it to our coverage in November! I am so excited ! I am going to start my band fund so that when it rolls around I will have my deductible ready! I think if it is something that you really want you shouldn't be nervous about talking to another doctor - go for it! Hopefully your insurance will not be a hassle and it will go smooth for you! Good Luck!

this is my first post, i am 38, mother of 5, 1 grandaughter. I have been overwieght most of my life and i am ready to make a change! i have been trying to get banded for over a year but my insurance will not cover it, and i can't seem to get financing, so i am still trying to find a way to make this happen. i am now looking into going to Mexico to ahve it done since i have heard it is a fraction of the cost here in the states. does anyone know if this is accurate info? i guess i need some direction as to where to find out how much it costs and what you need to do to have it done in Mexico. any help would be appreciated! :confused:
