Cost of Lap Band out of pocket



Recommended Posts

My insurance will not pay for the surgery, so I will be paying out of pocket. I'm in Chattanooga Tennessee and the best price I have found is $10,000 from the Lap Band Institute. And this includes everything concerning the surgery but does not include fills (which are $125 each). Is this a good price?

Hi yeah that sounds like a great price I live in Tampa,Florida and got a special Price for $10000 I only had to put $5000 down and pay the rest in 2 years at $208 per month 0 interest but my fill cost $50 dollars each time. That price included a hospital stay and anestesologist etc.....So I think It is a great deal some places charge $20000 :D

I paid $13,900 here in California. I feel that the skill of the surgeon makes a lot of difference is recovery time and band success when it comes to placement and fills. Do your research on the surgeon and talk to other patients, if possible, to see what their experiences were with the surgeon.

I am getting banded in Chicago and am self pay with a price tag of $12,500. Mine is outpatient, so no over night stay. This included all my pre-op testing, surgery and one year of fills. So it sounds good to me. Wanna switch prices! LOL!

Yes that is a good price! I'm paying almost 10,000 for mine in Dallas, TX. There are a lot of doctors in Dallas that do lapbands for 8,500 to 10,000. But I don't hear those low prices very often!

I thought it seemed pretty good. But this morning I just found out that if I pay with a credit card then it will cost me $11,500! And if I finance it through them, it will be 13.99% interest! Urrrg!! So either way, it will be more than $10,000 which is so discouraging!! If it seems too good to be true...it probably is!!

Mine was $13,000, so I think that is a good price! I wish I could have gotten it for $10,000.

That is what I paid for my lapband. My fills and doctor visits were free for the first 90 days and then my fills are $50.00

Just wondering if they are making you pay the 12,500 up front or if they offer payment options, also what hospital and Dr are you going through? I am doing the information seminar this wednesday at silver cross. Didnt know where else to go and was referred there.

Even with insurance I will pay $3000 to my surgeon and $3000 to the surgical center. Fills will cost $40 each so I would say $10,000 is a good deal. As long as the doctor is legit and has a good reputation, I would do it!

If you're in Youngstown, OH...it's 27,000 dollars, doesn't include a hospital stay...most hospitals in NE Ohio are about the same

I just had my surgery this morning at UPMC in Greenville, PA...16,500 with a nights stay and a year worth of fills (paid 2 weeks before the surgery)...staff here is amazing and very caring...never had a 10,000 price option around here but still don't regret it

$15,800 is my number... surgery date 6/1/11. This includes pre-op Protein diet, surgeon, psych consult, up to 3 nights stay at the hospital and 1 years of fills. I am happy with this because I love the surgeon. I live in the Tampa - S. Pete area (FL).

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
