Hello

My name is Margaret and I am thinking about getting banded. I am 45 years old, married and have a 7 year old son. I need to lose about 100 pounds. I have tried every diet there is. I am considering going to Mexico and I quess I just want to know that it is safe. I do worry about fills however. How does that work? Can I get them in the States? Any advice out there?

Welcome to the group. I take it that you your insurance does not cover wls surgery? Have you check to see if there is going to be any changes in 08 in regards to this. I happen to be reviewing are medical plan and found that it had been changed and so now my wife is having surgery a week from today Sept. 12 and 2 weeks for me. Sept. 19. We are both very excited about this.

There are several places in the US that have low prices for the band. One of the things that I here a lot from people is trying to get fills etc. You need to check with doctors in your area and see what they will do. Also I would make sure you check all the doctors out and just not go with the lowest price. What part of the US are you from?
