Every surgeon is different. Seems like average is 10-15k. Mine will be 13k with Dr Curry in Cincinnati, Ohio. Keep in mind cost of aftercare as well. My surgeon include 2 years of visits/fills, others charge 100-300 per fill/ visit etc...

Best suggestion is research surgeons in your area. Good luck!!

I meant that some charge $100-$300, not all. Just reread what I wrote...

True Results charges 9999.00 and that includes 1st year fills. I was a self pay too and they finance you, even if you have marginal credit. Now if you have a hiatal hernia they will repair that at the same time and bill your insurance for that part. Your insurance should cover that and it brought my cost down to $5,000.00

Check them out, they are all across the us.

Good luck

I was self pay and mine was $18,000.00 at Martha Jefferson Hospital in Charlottesville, Va. Included one year of fills. Then I pay $500.00 a year for follow up visits. And I go to see my doctor. I think it helps with my success.

I second what she said about True Results. I am self pay and it looks like I will be going through them. I will be traveling from Florida to TX for the surgery but it is worth it for the savings. Also, I have read so many good things about True Results... Just do a search for "True Results" and you will see.

The other thing I love about them is that someone answers the phone every time I call! They have all been nice. I have my first consultation this morning. Good Luck!

Counting everything, even all the pre op test I had to do, It was $24,000.00 That is what I spent from start to finish. I kept up with it so I could claim it on insurance .

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
