But I do not have any web sites but I know they did a lot of research before he did it. And it was very expensive and they are having to appeal the claim for coverage with the health insurance company.
He had lap banding around thanksgiving, end of November. He was diagnosed morbidly obese and he had tried dieting it did not work for him. This has worked he has lost 80 pounds now. The insurance did not want to cover it so we are out of pocket $12,000 it went to arbitration and we won but that was over 4 months ago so I don't believe we will ever get the money back. It was hard for the family and he got councling that helped. Got to search engine and type in Lap-band... good luck.
