Self pay for me is $17,500. This includes hospital fees, Dr.'s fees, anestesia, counseling (pre and post-of for life), office visits, dietition and one year of fills.

It does not include lap work, ultrasounds or EKG, (my insurance covered those) The Optifast that my Dr. requires 4-6 weeks prior to surgery and three weeks post-op was also not included and costs about $11 per day. Dr. visits after one year are also not included.

I really love my Dr. and know that I am getting excellent care before and after the surgury.

mine 13,500 for everything except optifast and a year's worth of fills. I went through carecredit to finance my band too. I got approved really fast and it is a medical credit card. I liked that idea since i figure I might want plastic surgery after I pay off the band.

Mine was $12,900 (a bargain!)

I didn't require any pre-op testing, otherwise that would have been out-of-pocket as well.

It did include surgeon's fees, hospital, anesthesia, and 1 year of fills and follow up.

Mine was 7500 but had to go to Mexico. I wanted a surgeon who'd done over 7000 of these instead of less than 100, lol. Mine was was total for everything. Housing, food, transportation, all hospital, doctor's fee's, preop, postop, and free fills for life.

Check into Dr. Trace Curry for in the states. He is fabulous. He's my fill doctor and he answers all the complications questions on here. He sure is good. I just seen him on Wednesday. He's a sweetie for sure.

$12,900. Includes all fills for the first year and if you reach 50% of your goal at the end of the first year the 2nd year's fills are free too. YEEEHAAA!!!! Worth every DAMN PENNY!!!!

Hey Beachgirl.

$15,500.00!! Included everything, even fills and continuing visits for the life of the band,

I paid $15,000 in Dallas/Ft. Worth. Includes a year of follow-up and fills. Adam Smith. He's excellent.

If you need to finance, I suggest Capital One and CareCredit--both provide loans for medical.

$7800. That included the surgeon, anesthesiologist, internal medicine doc, asst. surgeons (2), two nights in the hospital, hotel room the night before surgery, CBC, Chem Panel, Preggers test, HIV/HEP, Thyroid profile, UA, EKG, Chest Xray, Upper GI, pain meds and antibiotics to take home, and fills for life.

Dr. Aceves/Mexicali, Mexico. I adore him, he's great.

I am so glad you had a great experience with Dr. Aceves. I am scheduled for the band on August 10th with him. I will drive down from Arizona and will be self pay. I am very excited but very nervous all at the same time.
