  • I think it is outrageous too! I just called to double check with the psych office to make sure they knew I was only having lap band and they said it was still $800. I just sent an e-mail to my surgeon

  • I paid $150 for the one pysch visit that was required...I had a referral and it was covered by my insurance but I couldn't find anyone in my network that would do it, so I paid myself...$800 seems out

  • If I was self pay I wouldn't be afraid to negotiate the fee in advance. It doesn't hurt to ask!!!! My dentist gives me a discount for cash, now that I am retired and don't have dental insurance. I ha

Mrswynter22 are you self pay? If so, call around. I was also told initially that it would be 2 visits and $800. I found a place that is one long visit and $300.

If you are doing this through insurance you might just have to suck it up and go to two :(.

Hi Beanie80,

No I have Insurance which is paying for both the surgery and the session, but I was wondering do everyone had to go twice or just one time?
