Thats only true if your going through your insurance.... if you self-pay most doctors will do it in the drop of a hat.. money talks.

Eating to much will not make her sick, however it can hurt like heck if she does not chew properly (eats to fast) and it gets stuck..thats very painful. But in order for that to happen she needs to have the proper restriction (fills). Fills cost money as well (if your self-pay), some fills cost up to $200 each..depending on your Dr.
Just having the band does not make you lose weight... if she decides she is not going to diet and eat healthy, she will find a way to get those foods that get stuck down one way or another, or subsitute them for other food that will go down like ice cream or greasy junk food. Junk food is easier to eat with the band then clean foods, so the band could work against you if your not careful and have a healthy Mindset to make it work.
Her mind has to be in the right place or its just not going to work her (or anyone), so IMHO, she needs therapy first, pretty much what all the others have said here.
