If you are in the Greensboro NC area, where did you get banded? How much did you pay out of pocket? What was you experience and how was your doctor?

Hi, I have been thinking about getting banded for about 3 years now. I dont really look it, but I'm 271lbs 5'7. I'm 28 years old and I have some questions for people who have already gotten banded. 1. Is loose skin unaviodable. If so is it different for everybody? 2. I have united Health Care they will pay 80%. Is there an estimate of out-of-pocket expenses I can gt from anyone? I'm using my flex spending account to pay for it so I need to know how much to put in it. 3. As you loose weight can you see your access port? 4. How long did it take you to reach your goal weight? 5. Does anyone regret it and why? Thanks for all you help.
