The FDA has approved lap band for people with a BMI over 30 , that's me BMI 32. I'm just starting my research and could really use your advice. I will have to self pay, the insurance companies will take forever to follow these guidelines, so what did you or your insurance pay? I figure the cost will never add up to what I have spent on those other programs ie: pills, programs, delivered meals...you know what I mean....would you self pay for a band? Thank you for your help.

Thank you all for the information. I made an appointment for a consultation with Dr. Jamokay Taylor here in Michigan. I'm so excited to meet with this surgeon because I have heard such good things about him for his patients. Will keep you updated after my consultation. By the way his self pay price is $13,000.00....that's good news to start.

Were you fills included in that price? I found a couple of places here that run $14,000 and no follow is included.

Thank you
