In va i am self paying for 13,500 that is with one night stay and one yr service. Now if you have sleep apnea or a large BMI then they keep you over night which is an extra 5,000. I thought about traveling but i think it is worth sleeping in my own bed while i am recovering. There is nothing so comforting about your own pillows. I am making montly payments for the next decade but it is worth it.

Hello. I posted for oct bands. I will be banded next week. I am drinking the gross liquid shakes they want us to and have begun prepping my husband on the diet and food changes. I am in virginia, self pay, I love kickboxing and motorcycles. I am married to a twig (at 6ft- he weighs in at a huge 155) I am hoping this surgery helps me lose 80- 100 lbs. I am not trying to be Kate moss just healthy. I have been on this board as a guest but figured that it was time to log in since the time is near and i may have questions for all of you.
