"As with any surgery, there are risks for pain and complications. Lap-band surgery pain is common, but it is usually in the mild to moderate range. Other complications such as blood clots and stomach blockage may also produce pain."
I think the lapband procedure may be a little complicated; however, i do not think it is anymore complicated then the gastric bypass surgery. The lapband procedure seems like a simple way to stop you from overeating all the time.
You will be required to lose some weight before surgery. Lapband surgery is quite a process and adding lipo does not sound like a reasonable addition. There's just no easy, fast way to first get "weight relief" instantly.

Lapband is effective because it actually shrinks the stomach. A person will feel fuller much quicker after having this surgery done. It is done to help a person lose weight.
LapBand surgery (which is a brand) costs between $12,000 and $25,000 depending on where you live. The cost of the procedure will reflect the cost of living in your area. The LapBand website has a surgeon locator: http://www.lapband.com/en/lapband_is_for_you/find_a_surgeon/
Some of the risk associated with disc replacement surgery is that you will continue to suffer back pain even after the surgery or you could reinjur yourself and put your back in even more harm.
There is gastric bypass which is more dramatic. There are also less dramatic surgeries such as the Lapband.
The surgery would need to be proven medically necessary. You can call 1-800-MEDICARE for details on medically necessary covered services.
