    bigdaddy24 got a reaction from TKW in New here, anyone have bmi too high for surgery?   
    I am 5ft6in and weighed right at 600lbs my BMI was 93. I went to the Institute for Advanced Bariatric Surgey. They are located in Lenexa, Ks. Their website is www.laplose.com ths Drs. her are awesome they are a husband and wife team. As far a pricing I am not to sure on that I am covered by Medicare and my out of pocket costs were $2,400. That included a year of followup and fills. I was Banded on April 20, 2010 have had 7 fills and not recieved a single bill. Like I said I weighed 600lbs and am currently down to 450lbs. Good Luck with getting a good Dr and I would seriously look into this facility. I had to lose no weight before surgery and was only required to go on the Liver Shrinking 10 day diet.
