  my mom tried to get the lap band but her insurance denied it.  Her doctors want her to get it, she has several health problems as a result of the weight and other things but insurance denied it.  Go figure.
 She has a friened that did it but her friend doesn't always eat like she's supposed to and gets sick and uncomfortable because she over eats.
 
 For the most part though I've heard some very positive things about it.
