Cost of Lap Band out of pocket

[wannawearabikini 9]

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

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!

$11,500 is how much mine cost. $3,000 to the doctor, $8,500 to the hospital. Birmingham, Ala.

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).
