Hi all, I am new here, and have just recently begun seriously considering the procedure. I'm in southern California and unfortunately, my HMO will only cover bypass. This is something that scares the you know what out of me and there are so many reasons LapBand dxoes not. My problem is this... I was told $18,800for a one-hour outpatient procedure in Orange County... OMG! Really? Is there anyone out there in any part of California that does this for a lesser cost? I'm totally willing to travel... I need help, guys. Thanks!
