A lot of us are in your boat. That is why we had to self pay and a lot of us had to go out of the country.

How much would a trip like that cost including the surgery? Im confused about how to go about this...

Hello..My BMI is around 36 something...im 5'6" and weigh 225...Im not sure if some doctors would even consider me for this procedure? Help!!

I don't know about Arkansas specifically, but I know there are lots of doctors in the states. I had my surgery in Mexico because I was selfpay and the price was better, as well as the doctor being more experienced than most of the docs were here at the time.

If you have insurance, they should be able to give you a list of the doctors in your area that they cover, which would be a good start.

How fast you see results depend on the person. I'm 2 1/2 years out and I"m a little over halfway to goal, some people have been at goal a while by the time they get this far out. 'results may vary' . My procedure cost $11,000.

what part of Mexico did u travel to to have ur surgery? I dont have any kind of insurance...Do you know if there is any way to set up a payment plan for something like that or would it have to be in lump sum? And also, im not real positive if i would be a candidate for the surgery.im kinda borderline...im 5'6 1/2'' and weigh 225...im not sure if im overweight enough for this procedure...???

Hi my name is Crystal. I have heard about the LapBand procedure and it sounds like a wonderful thing. I live in Arkansas and was wondering if there were any doctors in my state or nearby that does the surgery. The only ones i have heard of are like in Mexico and other countries. I also wondered about other things such as how fast you may see results, and how much would a procedure like this cost. Any help from anyone would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much..Crystal
