I know you stated that you only wanted insurance info, but I had a friend that underwent this procedure. Yes, it worked, and she was satisfied after carefully selecting the surgeon and losing the weight. But it is interesting that the surgery basically prevents you from eating much unless you really force the issue. It causes quite a bit of digestive discomfort to eat. So it seems like all one needs is something that causes dyspepsia. I know I have dyspepsia and have lost a lot of weight recently. My labs came back normal, and I can't figure it out, but I thought it was intersting.
