Hello, my name is Angela. I live in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area and looking to do Lap Band. I think I have found a doctor for my procedure, my only question is, do I go through TLC Edge or his private practice? Has one used Dr. Jay, through TLC Edge? Has anyone used TLC Edge? What was your experience like? If I go through TLC Edge, the price is $9990, if I go through his practice it's $10,200. The TLC offers all testing with their price and one fill. The practice doesn't include testing but it offer 1 year of fills. Which do you think is the best deal and what do you think of the TLC Edge? Also, fills for TLC Edge are $100, with an average of 4-5 fills a year. I have an appt with both facilities next week. Any advice you can give would be great!! Thanks.

GO THROUGH HIS OFFICE

You will need the year of fills and aftercare more than the cost of the testing. My wife got banded by Dr. Jay, through TLCEdge, she loves him. You WILL want fills from Dr's office, not from fill tech. I am NOT knocking TLCEdge.They were a Godsend. Wife and I were both self pay. Best cash price we could find was about 16K and TLC was 10K. I had trouble with 10K, 16K was out of possibility. The fills and aftercare from the same Doctor that did your surgery is priceless. TLC does not work nights or week-ends. Problems rarely occur from 9 to 5.

Whatever you decide will be better than doing nothing.

GOOD LUCK
