I went to the seminar with Dr Patterson yesterday and was impresed with the information we were given. As a medicare patient I was told my out of pocket cost would be fourteen hundred and twenty five dollars for the lap band. I sent my paper work in today, I'm going for it!

Hi I'm going in on Monday for the information session with Dr Emma Patterson. Anybody have any info on her, Good Sam Obesity institute and the cost? I've been told medicare will cover 80%. I would like to have a little info before I go. Thanks Marv:confused:

Do any of the clinics in mexico take medicare or any US insurance?
