:thumbup:Hello everyone. Does anyone in Cincinnati oh or the surronding areas know of any lap band program that doesn't charge the upfront/ non refundable fees. Its hard times right now. I know the staff works hard to get the surgery approved but 400 to 500 is nothing to sneeze at if you are not approved for the surgery... Please help??????????

WOW...they don't charge fees for the "free" seminars down here! That's ridiculous! Good luck!

Lots of surgeons have "program fees" but they are after you select that surgeon and have decided to use their program. They aren't non-refundable!

Are you sure this isn't a charge for the surgical consult? Pretty much all surgeons charge for that since they actually practice medicine during it.
