Hey lilbit08 ~
I can understand your feelings about being afraid of vomiting, but after you're banded you sort of learn your own limitations and you'll be able (most times) to prevent the vomiting before it even happens. Most people vomit because they've either taken too big of a bite and didn't chew well or they've eaten too fast. I know it all sounds so difficult and like it would be such a pain in the rear to train yourself to eat a certain way (I remember that is how I felt as I was researching the band) but trust me, you'll learn and adapt to the new way of eating and you'll know when you've reached your limit and most times will be able to avoid the vomiting.
As far as insurance, I wish you luck with that! I do not have insurance myself and was self-pay ... I had my surgery down in Mexico.
Keep in touch and feel free to ask if you have any questions!

Hey lilbit08 ~
Thank you so much for the compliment!! =)
I had the same feelings when I was in my research stage, but I can tell you that getting banded has changed my life for the better. Not just the physical aspect of it, but mentally too. I spent many years severely depressed, in seclusion, hiding myself from the world because I was so ashamed of what I had allowed myself to become. The band has given me my life back and I would definitely recommend it to anyone! In addition to researching the procedure itself, make sure to research doctors too ... If you have any questions, feel free to ask me! Best of luck to you!
