I wondered about going all of the way to Detroit myself. I knew a little about the center of Excellence in Joplin (I think) but did not worry about the Detroit thing. I have been trying to get a lap band for over two years. Either my medicare wasn't excepted, or the Fayetteville Veteran's hospital hasn't gotten the surgery off the ground, or I did not have good credit for a loan, or I got the loan approved and was turned down because the doctor himself wanted for me to make payments over $350.00 a month (to pay off quickly of course).
I am a disabled veteran and would get a lot of pain relief from losing some excess baggage in the tail section. I feel old and tired. At this point, I will ride on a two toed, pregnant yak to zanzibar to get the surgery.
