Hi All, I was just banded on 10/15 at the Lahey Clinic in Burlington, MA. They have a great program (Center for Surgical Weight Loss) that was just certified a Center of Excellence by the Bariatric Surgery Center Network (BSCN) Accreditation Program of the American College of Surgeons (ACS). They have been wonderful to deal with and the hospital was unbelievable... all private rooms, around the clock care. My insurance (BCBS) covered the procedure, but during the initial seminar they stated self-pay for lapband surgery was about $18,000 (including all the pre- and post-surgery office visits, labs, fill appointments, etc.). It is a pretty intensive program, but it works and I love my surgeon (Dr. Nepomnayshy).
