Welcome to LBT. I had my band placed by Dr. Brengman with Richmond Surgical Group, out of St. Mary's Hospital in Richmond. They have been designated as a Bariatric Surgery Center of Excellence. (You can Google that for more info). I've had excellent follow-up care, and I would highly recommend this group. The cost was $13,000 for self pay. This includes one year of follow-up exams and fills. After one year, the fills are $150.
