I too was like you while at the research stage. It took me two years to finally go for lap band surgery in 2008. I tried getting cigna to pay that was a nightmare. I eventually found a low BMI study thay accepted me and price was lower; 12,ooo. You know nothing In Life is free. There will be benefits to gain and costs not $ to pay. Greatest benefit for me; the freedom from a constant obsession over my weight and fear of gaining beyond my control. . The most I gwill gain during holidays etc is 5 lbs this is an enormous plus that allows me to relax. I lost. 40 lbs at age 50 going thru meno pause. I now practice yoga extensively walk with puppy daily and have found my true self. I am a happier person and at peace. Costs: Vomit at times alot...get stuck when I eat out. Cant eat certain healthy foods. Reflux, gas, Had 4 unfills and four fills. You have to monitor it. The operation was no walk in the park....but would I do it again....YES....good luck. Feel free to send me ?.
