It would just lower the American insurance standards to those considered normal in the rest of the world .
I think its a good thing .... the band seems to work better long term for people with less of an overeating issue .....
Im not sure about the statistics but banding is virtually the ONLY surgery they do in most of Europe and also the main bariatric surgery in Australia and Mexico I believe .....and the results are good .
