    Cost of Band removal?

    Dr. Mark Pleatman is in the Detroit suburbs. Cost for removal is comparable to Mexican doc (quoted $5,000). For Dr. Pleatman, my cost was $2,200 for him (includes office visit and surgery), $3,300 to the hospital (Pontiac Osteopathic Hospital) and $300 to the anesthesia group.

    Newly Debanded

    Can those of you who have had your band removed pls share with me the name of the surgeon you used? My band was put in almost 3 years ago and, like many of you, I had success losing weight and maintaining it for quite a while but for the last year feel like I'm living with an eating disorder! I gotta get this thing removed. My original surgeon is not an option. I want someone who is experienced with removals -- East Coast, Midwest, Southeast but heck I'll go anywhere! Also, what was the surgery/recovery like? I had a very easy time with surgery -- in the hospital one night and off work just a couple of days. Thank you for any help you can provide!!
