Don't know where to start

Hello, I have been researching lab banding for a number of years. We have BCBS private group insurance I was told that they ofer zero help for lap banding. My situation is growing dimmer by the minute. I have no idea how, where what to do to try and get this procedure done. I have had a consult, been to Benefis and had the psych evaluation done, and had the post op diet. I just recently got diagnoised with diabetes, and i am devastated. I have been on the nutrsystem for some months and have lost almost 30 pounds, i have tried diet pills....then the yo-yo starts again. My day to day bloodsugars have never ran high. But my A!C just keeps creeping up everytime it is ran. Anyway, for you bandsters here in Montana, did you pay for your surgeries out of pocket? Did anyone have help via your insurance? I am at my witts end and becomming desperate. Thanks
