Yeah i'd like to know more too. I am thinking about having it as I haven't had much luck with diets and in fact am at my heaviest weight ever after trying different diets etc.
Cost is a big factor and I don't like my chances of being able to afford it. I understand the cost is anywhere between $3000-$10000. :cry: I need a lotto win

I have blue cross/blue shield insurance...And they cover it...Im sure there is a deductible though, but thats ok..I can afford that...Cuz diets don't work for me...And this is a last resort...And ive heard of waaay too many complications with gastric bypass surgery...That scares me
