I just stumbled across this site today and have been reading your posts. I have been considering lap band for over a year now and am ready to do it. I hae tried to get it covered through insurance but our company changed providers so now their guidlines are longer. I am going to self pay at this point and just wonder if anyone has some suggestions on surgeons. I am in Ohio. I have received information and am considering Mexico but I thinkn going for all the fills will be expensive. I am not wealthy by any means but I have saved up some rainy day money and this is what I have choosen to do with it. Is there anyone from Ohio or the surrounding states?
The only thing I know is that some folks that are banded in Mexico do find doctors in the states who will give them fills. You might want to check out http://www.lap-band.com/about.html to see if they can recommend a doctor in your area?
