I spoke to Dr. Beltre's office and they were very nice and answered all of my questions but are too expensive to have them place a lap band. Once again, I am asking if anyone knows of any surgeons in this area or even out of state but not too far away, who perform lap band at a reasonable price. I am a registered nurse and the thought of going out of the country (especially mexico) for an invasive procedure really scares me. Also, is there any way to get around the requirement of you BMI having to be >40 to qualify. I am self pay so its not like I am trying to qualify for insurance purposes. My bmi is 36.6 but steadily rising as this is the trend for the last 12 years. I am over failed diets and tired of being fat! I really want this done but can not afford the prices I have been quoted in this area. Thanks

Help! I am reading that many of you have been banded in Mexico. Who do you recommend??????? Do you know who is the least expensive in the central florida area????

I live just west of orlando and I saw your thread. I am looking into having a lap band placed but not sure where I should start. I will be attending a seminar offered by Dr. Kim who is located in Celebration but I have a feeling he will be very expensive. I am only looking to spend no more than 10K. Who does your fills. Do you have any important information I should know before entering into this procedure.

I am a RN and am frightened of the idea of having a invasive procedure perfomed in a hospital outside of the USA. Who would you recommend for the lap band procedure in mexico???

Pati-o, who is the physcian who offers the package for 12,500???
