Share some costs so those who are looking can easily find it on here. I know there are other threads, but they are buried. I'll start with some I have gathered....

Omaha, Nebraska=$13,500. (Does not include fills)

Tallgrass in Topeka, Kansas=$13,000

Dr. K in Colorado is $9,950. Prices seem to be changing, so updates are good!

After first year in-office fills are +/- $150 and fills under fluoro are +/- $700. (I don't have exact figures, but I think those are pretty close).

Hi

Had my done in TJ, Mexico. $7000 and includes fills for a year. I live too far to go for fills so have a doctor in Norman,Ok, $250 start-up, $85/fill.

The Dr there has done 1000's of the lap-band surgerys because they have been doing them there since the 1990's. Wasn't approved in US to 2002, I think.

The band is the older Lap-band(4cc). So after 2 fills I am already at the sweet spot.( 2cc in 4cc band)

Love my band :confused:

Good Journey,

Hello BMOracing,

I had Dr. Kuri. He speaks English as does his coordinators. The hospital was new and very nice.

You fly in to SanDiego and they pick you up and take you to TJ. There was some waiting involved because they pick up everyone that comes in at the same time. You do need a passport.

Dr Kuri has done like 4000+ lap-bands. I felt very confident with him. I did wish I knew Spanish to talk to the staff at the hospital.

Good Journey,

MaggieGT

Becareful... sometimes they say the fills are included and the actual office visit is not... I paid 17,500 for surgery with a year of lapband fills but the office visit was $110 so i actually paid $110 for fills... now that im over 1 yr out... i pay $110 for Office Visit and $150 for fills... so thats $260 a fill !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
