Every surgeon's prices and what's included is different. You need to check with your insurance company and find out for sure if it's covered. Then, you need to attend a seminar in your area to find out costs and what is included.

I paid $17,000 for surgery, all pre-op stuff, and 5 years of everything after.

I've also seen some people say that their insurance was billed upwards of $30,000.

Thank you that helps. I am gonna wait on my insurance just want to know kinda what to expect if it doesn't cover it.

I went with TrueResults and it is costing me $9888. That covers all the preop, surgery, and one year of postop. After that my Dr. charges $140 for fills or if you tend to need more fills there is a montly plan for $30.

My insurance doesn't cover the surgery (lapband w/plication). My doc's package plan that is all pre-op, surgery then 6 months of fills and post-op for 10,300. They always have higher prices when insurance is paying. I got approved for financing with CareCredit. Scared of the interest I'll pay but it's not gonna stop me! :). It was my last resort but will be totally worth it!
