Cheaper US Lapbanding for self pay!



Recommended Posts

Dr. David Melniczek in Denver does the surgery for $9000 (I think it's 10K, but a 1K discount when cash is paid up front.) He does surgery in Lakewood, Co. The first three months of fills are included in the price of surgery and are $150 or $200 after that. I'm not sure, I haven't paid for one yet.

After care with him is personable. He is pretty easy to contact, I have his email and his cell phone number. He calls me from time to time to check on me.

do you have a hard time finding someone in the US to do your fills if you have lap band in Mexico?

Dr. Steven Tersigini in Coos Bay Oregon has lowered his prices again back to 10,000.00 He was always 10,000 but then the clinic where he did his surgeries raised their price to him, so he went up to 12,500.00

Today I saw his nurse and she said that he is lowering it back to 10,000 so more people can afford lap band surgery.

Hello. I am thinking about having Dr. Tace Curry w/ JourneyLite do my surgery. He is located in Cincinnati, but I understand that there are several other JourneyLite locations. The cost for the procedure is $12999 and that includes everything plus 1 year of fills.

I'd like info on a reasonably priced surgeon in VA. I would travel 3 hours or so to NC or Washington DC if I found a Dr with a good rep for banding at a great price. Any suggestions?

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
