Just checking an average of self pay prices if anyone knows.

If my insurance weren't paying a portion, my cost would be about 9,900. Instead I will only be paying 3500. Some have reported paying 12-15000. Here is a quick snapshot I found on google where individuals reported what they paid. http://www.realself.com/lap-band/cost

I paid $18,500 for lapband in 2008 and then just paid $28,800 for lapband removal and revision to rny bypass on May 21, 2014. In Connecticut.

Ranges between $4500 and $8000 in Mexico. I went with Dr. Martinez and Dr. Ortiz at Obesity Control Center, which is a Center of Excellence in Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery. I paid $7000 for airfare, surgery, hospital stay, two months of postop meds and 4 nights at the Marriott for me and my sister.

I paid 10500 in south florida, three days in hospital. Bariatric hospital. Of excellence . Everything went smoothly.

I paid about $15,000 in louisiana. $13,600 for the actual procedure, the rest was paid while doing pre op test like sleep studies and EKGs and stuff.....u know. Some was spent on the Rx, over the counter meds, and vitimins. This stuff was expensive to me. Even the protien shakes for pre op hit my pocket. Just be prepared to have about at least $500 on top of what the procedure itself costs.

I paid $12,400 all-inclusive (including the first year of follow-ups and fills), and I live in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Great medical care before, during, and after, and worth every penny!

Mine was about $16000. However most hospitals have a charity care or assistance program that will cover some of the cost for you.

Houston Texas has some for 5000-10000

I paid $9,000.00, included surgery & 2 fills with one aftercare visit free.

I went to Mexico and had surgery with Dr. Garcia. I paid 5200.00 + 400.00 air fare.

Mine would have been 9900 but I had a hernia and paid the difference of 3700 to get lapband

I'm in Virginia and my sugery is $16,400 including hernia repair and one year of follow ups. I also had to pay around $1500 for pre- op testing.

In Dallas it ranges from 4k (must qualify) to about 11k (for anyone)

Thanks to all.

Oh and I forgot to mention my $18,500 included free fills and visits for life.
