newbie here in Idaho

[pistol1994 0]

I have turned in all my paperwork to my insurance and I'm hoping I get the approval for my banding in Idaho. I have an appt. with my bariatric surgeon soon and my insurance covers 90% of the procedure. Does anyone know how much banding is in Idaho? Just wondering what I can expect to pay. Please pray for me that I get approved. I am about 70-80 lbs overweight.

:eek:

I would love to keep in touch! I'm living in Pocatello and I'm planning on having my procedure done in Blackfoot by Dr. Avila. How about you? Congrats on your weight loss that's awesome and gives me tons of hope. I have had 3 kids and 3 losses so my body has been through heck and I'm hoping and praying I can have this done to help me feel better about myself especially my stomach from all my c-sections. Looking forward to talking more!
