Citygirlnks, thanks for the info. about how long was the process for you from time of seminar if you had to attend one to the actual surgery, and did insurance pay or are you self pay. i am fully prepared to pay if my insurance denies my claim for whatever reason but just trying to get a grasp on how much money it is. Seems like a lot of posts i have read put it between $10-$25K but thats a pretty broad range.

Hello, I am new to the forum. I am seriously considering lap band surgery. I have tried every diet known to man it seems like with always the same result: lose some weight, then gain it all back plus some. I go for the lap band seminar on August 28th in Louisville, KY. I have contacted my insurance company and I am very fortunate that it looks like they are going to pay for it if i decide to get the surgery. i think i can deal with the lifestyle/eating changes i will have to make. I just have one hang up, and thats the no drinking with meals issue. Does everyone find this extremely difficult? This may sound silly but if you eat something thats hot and burn your mouth can't you at least take a sip of something?? Thanks for the great posts in this forum they have been very helpful.
