I am self pay and trying to find someone in the kc area that will compete price wise with the dallas and denver docs.

Thanks

I was self pay and went with Dr. Hoehn and the Bariatric Center of Kansas City. Their website is www.kcbariatric.com. I paid about 16k. I'm not sure how much the doctors that you are talking about charge.

10000 for kirshenbaum in denver

i think a little more in dallas

Dr. Malley is about 16,000. He's great. He did mine last Oct.

check out wtlsc.com and kclapband.com

i do believe both of those are cheaper than malley. i'm being banded monday by Dr Lopez. but i got lucky my insurance is paying for it. i'm so nervous.

I just posted on the self pay thread.........

Dr. Malley 16.5K, and other (big names) in KC are 16-20k

I love Dr. Malley and staff and insurance coverd mine with him, but my mom will be self pay.... we are looking at Dr. K Denver or

Tallgrass surgery center in Topeka KS.. I am getting ready to call them for their self pay package.

Ok... I just got off the phone with TallGrass in Topeka KS... this is the breakdown..

They have 5 doctors that do bands on Mondays and Wednesdays (for the most part.
