Dee: I am panicking; I can't log on to our regular thread!! So I haven't been able to catch up in over 5 days!!! I don't know how others are doing and I don't know how to get a hold of anybody before I come in August. I am still trying to figure out what is wrong. The computer keeps saying something like "A script on the page will take an extra long time; do you want to abort?"????? Help!!!!

I am new to this process. I am currently scheduled to be banded by Dr. Kirschenbaum in Denver in August. I am self-pay and he charges $9950. OHSU is $25-30K; Oregon Weight Loss Legacy: $20-25k; Dr. T in Eugene and CoosBay: $21K now. It was good to hear about Dr. Fitzpatrick as going back to Denver would be difficult. I am really looking forward to this new journey.:eek:

Thanks. I will check her outl.

I attended meeting at good sam last week. self-pay was $20-25K. I just can't afford that much. Glad you have had a good experience. Keep up the good work!

What dr. in portland are you using? I am scheduled for surgery in Denver in August and can't afford to return for fills or followups. There is a Fill USA in Salem, but seeing someone right in town would be great!

Have you traveled back to CO for follow-up or do you have a dr. locally who is following your progress (not the fills)?

I am in Portland and may go out of state for procedure. How much does your organization charge per fill?

thanks for reply. just wondering how you came to decision to go to mexico and have you made arrangements with a local dr. about post surgery needs?

I am in Ptld too and am looking. Went to OHSU this week and will go to Good Sam seminar on 29th. OHSU was high: $25-30K. What have you discovered? Also, guy in Eugene is $21K

Hi, I am in Portland and am just starting the research for dr. Went to oHSU seminar this week and was shocked that they charge $25-30K for lapband. My insurance won't pay, so that set me back a bit. How much was Dr. Neal, if you don't mind my asking?

I am just starting my research and have plans to go to seminar at OHSU. My insurance doesn't pay, so I would be curious as to what they charge.
