The eastern part of the US is the most expensive. Mexico really isn't a bad option. $7K for a band.

There's a long thread here about Dr Kirshenbaum. He's in CO and I think charges under $10k.

I don't know of anyone on the east coast. That's probably going to be tough to find. I was researching when I was worried about my insurance.

Thanks for the info. I will look for that thread. As of now. Cigna will not pay, and I will have to pay 20 grand! At least that is 7 grand cheaper than another well known Doctor nearby...

my first post. 12,500 dollars. Doctors Haag and Fiallo of pioneer valley surgical associates (Pioneer Valley Surgical Associates, P. C.) are offering gastric banding surgery at Noble hospital in Westfield Massachusetts. This includes all surgical fees and 1 year of fills. Dr. Haag was the first to do lap banding in western massachusetts as well as the the first to do Realize banding. They are both great doctors. They have a huge experience with banding and bypass surgery. They are always available 24/7. They have a great office staff and an actual human answers your phone calls Good Luck:wink_smile:

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
