Hello,

I'm not from south Carolina, but there is a section for local lap band, and each state has a forum. You might try asking there, and perhaps someone can help.

Good luck.

I actually got out my phone book and called each doctor who said he/she did the lap band until I found one who accepted my insurance (Tricare Standard). I went to his seminar and was impressed; if I hadn't liked him I'd have started back with the C's and kept calling.
