I just found this site and I am happy to be a new member. I want to be banded very badly. I am 5' 3" and 275 lbs. I have been heavy for about 20 of my 43 years and have tried just about everything I lose but gain it back. My insurance has an exclusion but it is through my husbands employer and they have their own insurance that is managed by BCBS so I still have a fighting chance and I am doing just that. I really think this is the tool I need to get my weight under control. Now a few details about me I have two daughters ages 25 and 21 four grandsons ages 7, 5, 2 and 7 months and they are angels. My husband is a long haul truck driver for McKee foods( Little Debbie snack cakes) Ironic huh?lol. I was a corrections officer for 12 years until and on the job injury forced me to retire on disablity. Thats about it. Hello to everyone!

I hope you are able to get coverage ffrom your ins. carrier.

My insurer also excludes the surgery. Thats why I have opted to go to Mexico. At first I was scared to go out of country for surgery, but after researching and talking with Dr. Rumbaut and his associates, I feel pretty comfortable about it. I am scheduled for surgery on 5/28. I'm looking forward to beginning my

metamorphosis! Good Luck to you!

Hello Jamesbabe!

Welcome to the board! I hope all works out w/ your insurance! Just hang around here and when the time comes ... you'll be ready!

Thanks for the warm welcome. I got a letter today from the insurance company and I have been denied for the 3rd time. I don't know where I should turn now. I want this badly but can't afford to self pay. I am really bummed.
