Self-pay costs of different surgeons.....

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!

Dr. Ortiz - Mexico - $5,000, life time fills are free but x-ray with fill is $100.

Gastric Band Institute in Chattanooga, TN- Dr. Jamie Ponce

He was one of the original surgeons to participate in the FDA trials and has done thousands of WLS.

Currently they are having a price of $10,999 which includes first year after care and fills!

Hope this helps anyone around TN or GA

Be careful, though, with self-pay and then getting insurance. There are some physicians out there that wil flat out refuse to accept your insurance (even if they are contracted with them) because "once you start as a self-pay patient, you have to remain as such". Word to the wise!

17,000 in Portland, OR from Dr. Emma Patterson. She is awesome and comes highly recommended! The price covers 1 year adjustments.

I'm seeing Dr Ren in NYC. I was told 20k if u have to stay in hospital overnight (ie for a hiatal hernia) otherwise 18k. Sooo expensive. Includes all fills for first year but not revision if it slips etc. scary to maybe be in for $40k.

Does your surgeon offer BLIS? I purchased BLIS for an additional $1,500 and it covers all surgery revisions, port flips, etc. Perhaps something to look in to?
