Cash Cost And Process, Los Angeles

Hello I am a cash patient (included fills) because I was only about 180lbs.I had it done 3 years ago and and I am now a healthy 135. my doctor said he wants to unfill my band because he says I have reached my goal and I need "to give my stomach a rest". I honestly feel like he just wants to cut ties so he's not liable if anything happens? Im not sure, but I am terrified that I will gain my weight back and he wont refill me. if that happens, can someone tell me the approximate cash cost and is this something a doctor would do for me, even if I was not their initial patient? thank you very much

    Get a second opinion! I would not want it removed either.
