Well hello everyone, a little about myself... I am a 24 yr old male, I currently weigh approx. 450 lbs, have asthma, and now have possible DVT in my right leg.. Anyways, for 3 yrs now I have longed for nothing but to get the lapband surgery from Dr.Speigel's I have tried every diet, and they do not work.. Well I got my new insurance and cards and Dr. F. Speigel was in the book, I was soooooo excited.. Well needless to say it was all shot to hell, I read the coverage, and it doesnt cover lapband at all, What do I do now... Does anyone know how much this surgery cost out of pocket, how else can I pay for this, I have to have it, please help me with any answers!!! THANKS D:phanvan

Thanks to everyone for there help.. I was looking on Obesity help.com and found a place called the WISH Foundation and they will do cash and financing for $10,700 and been around for 8yrs and hospital based out of San Antonio.. Wish me luck!!! Daniel
