Thank you for your responses, I really apprecaite it. If you don't mind me asking, why did you choose to stay in the US and not go to a surgery center in another country?

My name is Just_Kelly and I’m on the journey to a healthier me. I’d give you the pre-requisite history but it’s pretty much the same as most people’s so I’ll skip it. I’m working towards losing many things besides just 79 pounds (see header!). I believe in keeping a positive outlook, not beating oneself up, and not being or doing anything crazy. I’m in the beginning stages of researching lap band. I’m 99.9% sure I will get the lap band procedure, I just have to figure out financing. Which leads to my questions: · For those who self-pay, what was your total cost? · What is the average cost of fill appointments/fills? · Does anyone have any recommendations for bariatric centers in FL or GA? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! Looking forward to getting to know you all!
