Nursceo I am in Round Rock, looking for Docs. Who did you go to? I am going to a seminar tomorrow put on by Southwest Bariatric Group, Dr. Fass seems to be the most experienced.

According to my research he is one of the pioneers in the AGB. Anyone have any personal experiences? He is with Southwest Bariatric Surgeons.

Thank you for the tip! I also found the Forum on Insurance, it's been very helpful.

Hi, I am considering the Lap Band. I am going to a seminar in two days. I was wondering about insurance coverage for the band. My insurance doesn't specifically say it covers the surgery, the physician group putting on the seminar say they advocate for the patient to get the insurance to cover the surgery based on medical necessity, i.e. diabetes, apnea, etc. Any input on the subject?
