Anybody With Manic Depression/bipolar Been Banded?

I was recently diagnosed ith bipolar/manic depression. I had thought about lapband before, but never this seriously. My mom had the procedure in 2005, and I have seen first hand the struggle and success. I want to be a healthier and hopefully happier me. I was wondering if anyone else w bipolar has had the procedure, and if so, how it has affected their depression? Im on an arsenal of medications to battle it, but am wondering if after lapband the meds could or would be reduced? Any help would be appreciated. Also windering if anyone was banded in Louisiana, or how much cash pay in the south would be? Im funding with my tax return
