Has anyone had to pay for an endoscopy? I may have to have one and would like to know a ball park price if I can't get the insurance (who did not cover my band) to pay for it. Thanks

Just ask your doctor to tell the Insurance company the endoscopy is not band related. This should be pretty easy if the Ins company doesn't know you have the band. The Dr will just say it is for reflux or something. In my experience, doctors are used to doing this, and if yours won't, you should find another Dr. I am having a pre surgery endoscopy, and insurance is covering it because I need it whether or not i'm getting the surgery - my ins company does not know i'm getting the band (with Dr Ortiz in Mexico)
