amandac82 0 Posted September 10, 2010 Hello~ Congrats on starting this process... however it can be long and drawn out. But also, super worth it. Do you have any insurance? Medicaid? Medicare? Alot of insurance plans now do cover weight loss surgery. Medicaid/Medicare do. You just have to follow their protocal. If not, could you get a loan? Also, have you looked into government trails. It may not be for lapband specifically but maybe the gastric sleeve. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
