I live in Chattanooga and want to have lap band.

I was curious as what the cost woud be without insurance,

I cannot be covered on my insurance plan.

I have signed up for a meeting at MemorialHospital in November but the anxiety is killing me! I was curious if there anyone else in Tennessee has an idea of the cost.

Good Morning, I am not banded yet but will be by Dr Walter Rose at Memorial on September 29th. I have United Health Care through my employer T-Mobile. They are awesome employer and take real good care of their employees. My insurance is p aying and if anyone interested in learning about career opportunies email me would be happy to share info about this any anything i love to talk that is why I do customer service lol

Everyone that is gettin ready to have surgery my prayers and thoughts go out to you.

Take care

I too work at tmobile but in nashville and the insurance pays very well. Plus uhc actually only took 1 week to approve me! I'm very excited but slightly nervous. The good thing is most of my friends are banded and I finally decided to do something to better my health as well. And it is so funny because it feels like 20% of my coworkers have the lapband! And dr. Morton has done almost all of them! Good luck with your surgery!

Lauren Good luck with your surgery on Ocober 23 sorry just read that part.

Have a great day

Dr. Ponce did my surgery at Memorial and it was $18,500 self pay. I had a higher BMI so I was not able to go to the surgery center in Dalton. Too bad...it would have saved me about $5,000 I love everyone at

Dr. Ponce's office. They are SO nice, helpful and supportive!!

I live in Memphis and was banded by Dr. Ortiz in Mexico on August 10. I went back to Mexico for my fill and have not required any follow-up other than that. I had a revision from a failed gastric bypass (staple line disruption) and am very happy with my band.

My first fill was on the 18th of September and I have really good restriction.

Hello All, I live in Chattanooga TN and was just banded by Dr Walter Rose on Friday September 29th at Memorial Hospital. The staff at the weight loss mgmt center is awesome. The cost if I did not have insurance was about 18,000 dollars.

Dr Rose is a great surgeon and my surgery went well I am not 5 days post op hope that helps

Larry,

Congrats on your surgery!! Glad everything went well and your recovery continues to go smoothly.

Hello All,

I actually feel human these last couple days. Moods are improving not getting tired as much and finding new creative ways to get my Protein in as I am done with the Isopure. Any on in Chattanooga that may be getting ready for surgery email me before you buy any at 3.79 or more a bottle.

I am still trying to get enough liquids in and its hard. I can move around and the weight is still coming down.

Any suggestions on how to get more liquids please let me know.

Hope all have a great weekend
