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!

Does anyone have any recommendations around the Atlanta area? Anyone know what it costs around the Atlanta area?

ILLINOIS - DR VAFA SHAYANI

$12,200 Includes Surgeon, anesthesia and facility only. The lowest price I found for self pay in the Chicago area.

Overland Park, Kansas

Bariatric Center of KC

$11,999.00 with a free year of visits and fills.

They have built a new center and everything from surgery to fills and all pre consults are done in house.

Dr. Gerald Kirshenbaum, Denver Colorado - Lapband of the Rockies.

Still $9,950 for everything, including first three months of fills. Fills after that are $30. And if you go in and don't get a fill, you don't get charged anything. He's fantastic

I agree, I had my done by Dr. Ortiz in September '06 and no problems whatsoever!!! Mine was $8500 so the price dropped quite abit

I had mine done by Dr. Ortiz as well.............$4,900 (all in..........hotel, transport from Airport etc)

I'm in Canada so probably not relevant to you but you might be interested anyways...I went to the Slimband clinic in Toronto. It was 16K (lap band isn't covered by insurance here at all, I don't think), but that includes everything and unlimited fills.

Lannae, I am going to Dr Ortiz on May 11. Are the fills free for life through him???? Also how are you doing since the surgery. I think we chatted before on this. You are from Alberta too right??
