It appears that it's quite difficult to get financing for lap band surgery in Mexico, so I was wondering if there were any good doctors in the U.S. that had decent prices. The best price I've found so far is $9950 with Dr Kirshenbaum in Denver.

Thanks.

hi iam having dr. weber from detroit mi. for 11000. he works out of great lakes weight loss good luck on your journey,btw iam being banded july 10th

Dr. Kirschenbaum in Denver is the least expensive I've read about. He doesn't take any insurance...and honestly the 9950 is probably what many docs get after insurance does it's price adjustment anyway!

Just make sure if you pick ANY surgeon away from your local area that you have a plan for fills and after care. Will you fly back to Denver? Will a local surgeon take you on? (not all will) Is there a "Fill Center USA" near you?

Get that aftercare lined up, ok? It's something a lot of us, focused on just GETTING the band, don't really pay attention to, and it is vital. Without it the band is just a big old pricey waste of money for most.

It's easy to get financing for Mexico.

There are others, I forget the names.

But don't get banded anywhere unless you have local follow up care.

lap band surgery in mexico is about 5K... save your pennies.. and pay cash

You can get it at several places in the Dallas area for less than 10k. If you have hiatal hernia also, you can get insurance to pick up a portion of the surgery, so my actual self pay cost was $7500. I have seen other posters say it was less than that when they also had hiatal hernia repair. Something to possibly look into. Good luck!
