i've done oodles and oodles of research on this whole LB thing, and i've gotten every single answer i could possibly get - except for the out-of-pocket cost of this whole procedure if you're not filing an insurance claim. my insurance won't cover it, and i've accepted that. my husband is willing to help me get the band anyways - bless him! but i have no idea how much this is going to cost me???

does anyone in the same boat as i am have any feedback? i just want to know what the procedure costs on average, not including the fills. i already know those are between $50-$200 without insurance.

thanks a bunch :wink2:

You are making a great choice with Dr. K. I also flew from NC (Charlotte) to Denver for my surgery with Dr. K. I also fly back and forth to Denver for the $15 fills (but you get the first 3 months of fills free) because I feel Dr. K is worth it. He is incredible.

this message board has helped me SO much in making my decision. ultimately i've decided to go with Dr. K in CO for $9950. i'm getting banded on 11/5/08!

jmegirl, congratulations!
