  1. How much does it cost? The cost for this surgery is $12,000. This is a flat rate that has been discounted and is due in full 2 weeks prior to your scheduled surgery. Included in this fee are surgeon's fee, anesthesia fee, hospital stay, pathology fee if needed, and pre-op upper GI if required. We do not offer any payment plans. You will also be required to pay $400 for pre-op assessments by our Registered Dietitian and Exercise Specialist. This fee also includes your GoTo Workbook and post-op support. The initial medical consult by the surgeon is billed to insurance or self-pay. this is from the web site I am using to figure things out. This is the cost of the lap band. I actually live in Illinois but my husbands company is based in Texas and that is how I'll have bcbs of texas. Thanks for all the help everyone. I'm going to my seminar on the 27th of this month, I'mso curious but also scared
  2. I will have BCBS of Texas in January 08. Everything I have read states the procedure costs around 14,000. Does this include all of the rejustments done in the future. like with braces? Why does your insurance company have to approve a decision your doctor has made? I wouldnt think a doctor would preform a surgery on someone tht didnt need it. I will have lots of question over the next few weeks and I'm really hoping you guys can help me
  3. I have found lately that I have lost who I am. I know that I am a mother of 3 and that I have a wonderful husband, but for years when I looked at myself in a mirror I just seen a stocky women instead of what was really there. I have finally recognized that my weight has gotten so out of control that I'm unable to participate with my children. I have tried hundreds of diets and excercise programs. Don't get me wrong I've always noticed that I'm overweight, I just didn't realize how over weight. So I'm looking at all of my options. I've heard a lot of great things about Lap band and I'm attending a seminar at the end of the month. So I'm hear among other people like myself, looking for a friendship and a understanding of all of this. My name is Jamie and I'm 31 years old. I live in Illinois and I have the wonderful opportunity to be a stay at home mom.
