Hey I'm very keen to get the band I was just wondering how you go about it and how much it cost my bmi is 42 and I'm 159cm any info would be great!!!!@

It all depends if you are going to go through your health insurance or if you will be self-pay. I am going to be self pay so I called around and got quotes from three of the WLS centers that I narrowed it down to. I am paying $15,800 but this also includes my initial visit, anesthesiologist, hospital fees, my psychological eval, and paying the lead surgeon, also a year of after care and fills. The other two places cost about the same but it did not include the after care. If you are going through your health care provider you will need to see if it even covers WLS and if so you will have to follow the guidelines which could take over a year to complete. Good Luck!

Go to the top of this page, click on Surgeons, add your local information and search for docs. Call them and ask when they'll be having a seminar or visit their webpage. Go to several seminars and ask your questions. Good luck.
