Hello right now I have no idea if my insurance is going to accept my appeal cuz they excluded all obesity related surgeries out of my plan. The doctor I called and asked how much it would cost said it was $30,000 I have no idea if that is what they charge insurance or if that's self pay. So I'm kinda shopping around to see where different prices are and where you had them done. If you could help me I would appreciate it. Thanks!!! :-)

10' date='000 flat Fee (including all the labs etc), - just had it done last week.

fills are 100 bucks unless they have to do an exray and then they are 150.

Memorial hospital in Tampa FL... doctor Diciccio.[/quote']

I have them too. But I had to also pay for all my labs and chest X-ray all of it. It seems like every time I open my mail box there is another bill plus I pay before I leave. I haven't even gotten my band yet. I have no idea why. It's kind of pi**ing me off. But it's the price you pay I guess.

I paid $10,400. That was all inclusive, with a year's worth of follow-up visits. And the travel 5 hours one way from my house to the doctor every month.

I paid $6500. Dr Alberto Aceves in Mexicali, Mexico. Included hotel room for 1 night, a 2 night stay at a beautiful private hospital (not a clinic) and transportation to and from San Diego, CA. Also includes lifetime fills.

I paid $9,500 in Orange County, CA. It included everything from all pre-op visits to aftercare plus 3 fills. Shop around and research your doctors. My doctors office worked with me after my insurance company approved me and then bailed out after I was almost to surgery date. Their accounting department might even work with you, mine did. So just talk to them about your situation. Good luck!

My band cost 6K all total including my hotel for 2, meals for me and transportation to and from the hospital plus followups after surgery. It was wonder! I had Dr. Ariel Ortiz, you know the one that was on the Ophra show and she was right. He is top notch. I'm in Atlanta and was banded in 2011.

Oh, PS I am not a blogger I am a real person......

In Tampa Florida @ Memorial Hospital / Dr Aguila

I have just started this journey. I am getting things in order to get the insurance approval. I will have my surgery with Dr. Aguila at Memorial Hospital as well!!!

I think u would be better paying for a trip to perth over here its $1250 out of pocket with no insurance an that $1250 covers all up follow up appointments fills if more surgery is needed etc. i think it's all about word of mouth finding the right doctor that covers u over here

Self-pays in my area pay about $10K.

$12k including two years of aftercare in Cincinnati

Mine was 4700 English money.. I hope it will be the best money I've ever spent!!! that's including 2 years aftercare with fills, after that fills are £100 each I think... :/ xxx

12k including two years of aftercare in Cincinnati

Which doctor in Cincinnati?? I was looking at FL but I'm soo much closer to Cincinnati (lol)

Mine was 9,999 flat fee paid cash included fills for a year. I went thru Ture Results in Texas, Dr. Carter is my surgeon and he is great.

$12,999 in Cincinnati (go REDS!) includes 2 years of fills/aftercare.
