Hi, my name is Melissa and I'm from the Kansas City area. I've always had issues with my weight (I'm 25) and both my mom and I are considering on having the banding surgery done. We have looked into it around the KC area, and the cost is $16,000 and up. We've also checked out Thailand prices too, $9,000. Does anyone know of any good, clean, respectful places that are cheaper than $16K here in the States or Mexico or Canada even?

Thank you,

Melissa

Hi Melissa, There are many competent doctors in the DFW area. Perhaps by explaining that you are a self pay, and a two for one package. they may cut you a deal.

Welcome Melissa. There's lots of information on LBT about where to get banded, especially on the Doctors and Hospitals threads. Why don't you check those out? I'm from Canada and had my surgery last June in Tijuana and paid $6500. Be sure to read all the posts about the different doctors. Choosing the cheapest isn't necessarily the best thing.
