Information needed on US procedure

[Parvathi 2]

Hi all,

My mom was telling her hairdresser about lapbanding, as I had it done while Mom was visiting Australia. Her hairdresser is really interested in finding our more, but I'm not sure of the best US based sites to send her to for info on the procedure, surgeons, insurance coverage, etc.

If anyone knows of the most reliable sites for info on it, that would be great. She's in North Carolina, if that helps any.

Cheers,

The best place to start is www.inamed.com for referrals to banding surgeons in her area. Then she can contact the surgeons and her insurance carrier to get more information on the local process. And of course she can always come here for the real scoop!
