I HAVE MEDICARE AND MEDICAID AND YES I'M PRETTY SURE IT WILL AS LONG AS YOU ARE IN THE CRITERA. BUT IF I HAD IT TO DO OVER I WOULD NOT HAVE IT. I HAVEN'T LOST VERY MUCH IN A YEAR AND IT'S JUST LIKE BEING ON A REGULAR DIET TO ME. I'M LOOKING INTO A REVISON FOR THE MINI GASTRIC IT'S A LOT SAFER THAN THE GASTRIC BYPASS OR THE SLEEVE PLEASE LOOK INTO THESE TO IF YOU HAVE A LOT TO LOSE THE BAND IS HARD AND SLOW FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE BUT SOME PEOPLE DO GREAT AND THEY COULD BE EATING THE SAME DIET AND ONE COULD LOSE AND THE OTHER WOULDN'T. IF YOU HAVE A HISTORY OF WEIGHT VERY HARD TO COME OFF LIKE ME. YOU KNOW SOME PEOPLE JUST CAN LOSE EASIER THAN OTHERS. I AM SO DISAPPOINTED. BUT GOOD LUCK WITH WHAT EVER YOU DO. SHARON
