I am looking into getting Banded for the first time. I found out today that my insurance will not cover the surgery so I am looking into pricing in different states. I am in NC. I hope to find lots of info here at this forum. At present I am at my highest weight of 265 and am 5'10. I am 40 years old and feel a lot older. Anyway, I look forward to reading thru the discussions.:smile2:
