Recommended Posts

:Bunny I just got off the phone with them. I ordered my info pack, with some papers to fill out, when I get that, I'll schedule my 1 on 1 consultation with the Dr., it costs $175. Seminars are optional. Then after the consultation, you schedule your surgery. The $10,500 is for cash/self pay & includes the surgery, tests, etc. & 1 yr of free fills/adjustments!!!:Bunny

Hope this helps other people!

Decatur, AL

Find out how many Bands this doctor has done. Many docs give a very low price when they are just starting because until a doctor has done more than 100 bands, the complication rate is much higher than later. Cheap is not so cheap if they are very inexperienced and just starting and have no followup and after care problem, and don't know enough to teach you what to do. a port replacement is like $2000 if they puncture it or the port flips becuase the stures were not put in well. It also takes at least 100 fills to start to get a feel for how much is good, and how to read the fluoros.

As I mentioned in another thread, my surgeon, Dr. Thomas Lavin, has a self-pay program for $12,900. As long as you fit the health criteria for outpatient surgery, the $12,900 covers the following:

Surgeon

Hospital (up to a 23 hour stay)

Anesthesiologist

1 year of follow-up care/fills

The initial out-of-pocket visit is $175, which includes the psych evaluation. Any tests (sleep apnea, blood work, etc.) are also out-of-pocket.

From Dr. Lavin's website www.whyweight.com...

"As one of the first 4 U.S. proctors for Inamed Health, he teaches and credentials other surgeons in the placement of the Lap-band device for the treatment of morbid obesity."

Here's the link for his Surgeon Profile on obesityhelp.com. Please note that the number of surgeries he's performed needs to be updated.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
