Has anyone used a Dr in the Woodlands area and if so what was you experience. I will be self pay and my bcbs policy excludes any cost associated with lapband even if emergency. I can't afford any problems.

Any information you can offer will help.Thanks

I used Dr Leggett for my lap band. He is in Houston off of I-45 and 1960. The nice thing about him is there is not any pre surgery diet. My experience with him was good. He always saw me within a few minutes of my appointment time. I have good insurance so I don't know what his prices are. Here is his website. Philip L. Leggett, MD - General and Laparoendoscopic Surgery

my doctor is dr. st. laurent. His office is located at methodist willowbrook on 249. The surgery center(journey lite) is on 45 south around gallery furniture. sorry I cant remember the exit. It is about 25 minutes south of conroe. I was self pay as well. His seminar was free, his first consultation was 150.00.The surgery was 15,000. The fills are free for life if you do them at the surgery center. If you do them at the office it is 40.00. His follow up visits at his office which is once a month and are free for the first year and I believe are 40.00 there after. The only other expense is the nutritionist which is mandatory for 6 months. She is 250. for all 6 visits or 50.00 a month. He is a GREAT doctor and he has a WONDERFUl staff. I could not be happier.I hope this is helpful..good luck to you!!
