Hello:

Anyone mind sharing the total cost of your self-pay Lap Band?

Who performed the procedure?

Thank you in advance

Self pay $14,500 plus $1000 for lifetime fills. Dr. H. Billy in Ventura CA.

Would pay double, or more, since I am so happy.

$13,500, Richmond Surgical Group (VA), includes one year follow up plus fills

What is your docs name magaines?

Again, thanks for all of this info. I have scheduled my surgery for 10/30 with Dr. K in Colorado for $9900. I'm a little nervous about needing to travel back so far for fills and worried that facilities here in Chicago will turn me down for these - or will charge way too much!

I got a detailed message today from Greate Lakes Weight Center in Michigan - who charges $10700 with everything included, plus overnight stay. Says they are able to schedule me withing two weeks. But, they want $500 to hold a surgery date. I'm skeptical of this and need to do some BBB research, etc.

If I was convinced of getting local fills at a reasonable price - I wouldn't consider them as much - but, they closer to home. Also, they've changed their name from something else and I don't understand why.

My Doc's name is Kirshenbaum. He is here in Aurora, Colorado.

i'm responding to make you all feel better here ...in NY where I live surgury costs 17,500 WITHOUT hospital (outpatient) and starting at 21,600 for 1 nights stay at NYU Medical Center.

I had my surgery in detroit also and i had the best experience. The staff was wonderful!!!

In Mexico you can find Dr. Ramos Kelly charges $7,800.00 everything included, (airfare, hotel, transportation, lab, xray, ekg, meds. after surgery, nutritionist support, psychological support, hospital, etc.)

Dr. John Groves done mine a week ago for 15,500.00 So far, its been worth every penny. He also had to repair my hernia at no additional charge. My surgery was done late that evening and I went home next morning 10:00 a.m. Wonderful doctors and they also accept carecredit....who could afford that without it?? LOL Oh yeah, He is located in North East Alabama (Albertville) email me for more info if interested. :cool2:
