Hello,

I saw that this was about Doctors and Hospitals so I thought that I would see if you all could help me.

I am more than interested in having the Lap Band surgery done. Woould any of you know if there are any really good Dr's in Greenville NC that has done this a bit ?

Thanks

Bleste

I know this is an old post, so you've probably already found someone, but I was just banded by Dr. Naziri from Southern Surgical in Greenville, and am really happy with the results!

Heya,

Dr. Naziri is who my Dr. referred me to..I'm still researching..

I'm a single mom and not alot of money for "me" things..

They require a $200 fee for consultation...cash and up front and I don't think it will go towards the procedure. My Ins. is Aetna and they said they cover 80% of the surgery...but I'm not sure what the procedure costs exactly so I'm not sure I can swing the balance..*sigh* I do want to do this..but I have kids to think about and Christmas coming yaddie yaddie all the responsibilities.. Anyway if you can give me a heads up on some Info. maybe I can call him back and reschedule..I've cancelled my consultation...There isn't much point of going if in 6 months I can't go through with it...so any info would help me to figure out my finances and prepare..

Thank you...:thumbup:

I think it all depends on your insurance. I went with ECU and paid $40 co pay. They told me no matter the procedure the nutritionist charges $125 upfront.
