  1. Hi KCgirliegirl, I too am form KC and plan on going to Dr K in Sept to have my baning. I wish I could go earlier but since I am a self pay, I have to wait. I have 2 boys in college and I have to put them first. Please keep in touch with me and let me know how things go! Good Luck!!! B...
  2. Does anyone know if any doctors that do lap band for $12K or $13K? I am looking into going to Colorado for $10K but live in KCMO. I am a self pay and need to find a good doctor that costs less for self pay. I know Dr K in Colorado is great but I would have to fly back and forth many times. I want to have my fills with the same doctor that does my lap band. Any advise would be appreciated!
  3. Do you know how much it cost for self pay?
  4. Hi All, I am just starting my research for Lap Band. I love in KC and went to my first seminar in Topeka - Tallgrass. I was quite disapointed! I have been reading and researching and they did not thrill me. I am a self pay, so price is importmnt and so is feelng comftroable. I have called ans spoke with Dr. K office and liked what they had to say. Can anyone that has been baned by Dr k in Colorado, give me some feed back on your experience? Thanks, B
  5. do you have a hard time finding someone in the US to do your fills if you have lap band in Mexico?
  6. :confused5: Can anyone tell me what the cost was for the lap band at Shawnee Mission Mecial Center? Not sure if my insurance is going to cover so need to be prepared. Thanks, B
  7. did you have to pay for the surgery? If so, how much? I donot think my insurance is going to cover so I may have to pay myself
  8. Does anyone have any good or bad you can tell me about lap band at Tallgrass in Topeka? Do they help you get approved by your insurnace company? How do you sign up for a seminar? I have looked on the web and it tells very little about the lap band. I am from Kansas City and am trying to make the best decision as to where to go for the lap band procedure. Any help would be appreciated!
  9. Congrats on your banding! Where they helpful with the insurance process or did you have to do that on your own? How can I sign up for a seminar? I looked on the web did not see anything. How are you feeling now?
