Can Anyone Direct Me To A Affordable Lap-Band Surgeon?

I'm considering in doing the lap band surgery but I have no insurance and don't know where to look for an affordable price.

Maybe someone can guide me to the right direction?

    I would include where you're located, otherwise you're going to get recommendations all over the world.

    I would start in your own doctor's office. Even if you think you can't afford it, you may be suprised to see if you qualify or not. Also, there is a feature at the top of this website to search for surgeons. You may want to put your zipcode in and see who pops up and call them for more information. I hope that helps!

    Thanks, but since I don't have insurance, it can be quite costly. I'll research that anyway, thanks!
