I don't know the answer to your insurance question but if you scroll down on the main manu page, past the 'by state' area, there's a section for Insurance stuff. You can search within there by key words. Good luck. I'm not banded either but my research just makes me want one more and more.

I understand where the band is placed and how it restricts the amount you can eat. I'm wondering if someone could explain, in just a little more detail, the actual digestion process. So... 1) Food goes to the little pouch and you feel full. Then what happens? (I know about PBing, golf balls, getting stuck, etc...I'm just wondering about when everything's working how it's supposed to.)

Thanks Jodi. So, same with liquid? I know you're not supposed to drink with meals because it can push food down faster, but then how does a protein shake keep you feeling full? Is the band just tight enough that thicker liquid is still slow to pass through?

I was looking for the same thing. Did you see this thread? http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f26/experiences-dr-helmuth-billy-56243/
