Researching Cost - Suggestions

Anyone have any suggestions on how I go about finding out what the cost of surgery is at different local hospitals?

      Google lap band + the names of the cities you are willing to travel to. Then call the practices and ask for their cash pay price. Be sure to ask if that covers preop testing and fills afterwords.

    Using that method, I was able to find an experienced a local surgeon that did lap bands for $9999 with one-year-old of fills afterwards.

    Good luck!
