Why do US doctors charge so much more?
-
I'm in the same boat in regard to the credit/income ratio and I was approved with no problems. You're not asking for $20k, just $5-7k by going to Mexico. Big difference.ha-ha... thats if my wife don't freak about me going to Mexico. But I found a few doctors that are $12k instead of the first one charging $17k.
I just wonder what can possibly be the difference for the $5k.

Hi Everyone! I got great news to share..I am tired of driving for hours to get a fill..how about you..I just found Dr. Domkowski who works in Sebastian, Florida just north of Vero Beach. I just talked to his office today with Rebecca and made my much needed appointment for a fill... Dr. Domkowski is welcoming new fill patients and even patients who had surgery out of the country..Just bring your records with you on the first visit.The other good news is he charges $200 for the first visit which includes a fill w/o fluro and that even includes the next fill. Then is $80 per fill w/o fluro. Very affordable in these times...If you need fluro that can be done at Sebastian Hospital for $300 and Palm Bay for $276. Dr. Domkowski is also doing LAP-BAND® and gastric sleeve. He can be reached at (772)581-8003.
Did you self pay or insurance? Curious to see how much they charge.

I would be so down to travel to Mexico for the surgery, but like I said my wife would probably freak.
If I wanted to go this route, how does the process work?
Do you fly there before the surgery, and then have to fly back for the procedure?
-
My income is great, but my score is mid 600's.
So I'm not sure thats going to look to great.
-
But will they cover the whole thing? Or at least a good portion of it?
-
My wife said I was crazy when I told her about maybe traveling to Mexico for the surgery.
-
anyone else have any luck obtaining a medical loan for the band?
-
Man I wish in Florida it was $10-$12k.
I spoke to the office local to me and their saying $17k.
Just seems high for self pay. I mean I'm sure the insurance companies aren't paying them that much.

What is the average cost of a lap band?
I would be doing self pay, and am curious as to the spand the cost could be in between.
-
Are there any companies out there giving medical loans right now?
-
Does anyone know what he charges for self pay??

Do you know how much he charges for self pay??

Silcone....? Weird, so is the balloon part made of the same?

Hi youtalk,I am from Melbourne and scheduled for surgery on 5/21 with Dr. Fusco
You getting ready...? I got my date scheduled for July 23rd.... woo hoo...
-
Something I was wondering, what material are these bands made of? I'm just thinking how long this object will last in our bodies. :help:
-
Now I didn't get to meet anyone really, that place was packed. I was so exhausted that I left a little early.
-
wow, I'll check out Capital One. There is a local credit union that my doctor recommends, but I just don't care for the bank itself.
-
Yes I spoke to her today, and she feels very comfortable that I would be able to get banded. I still need to call her back to get the ball rolling.
So I see you have 13 days to go, did you start your pre-op diet yet?
-
So what are the lowest BMI has anyone else had the band put on?
-
I was just wondering if there were any nationwide companies that did financing for surgeories. Anyone else know of any?
-
-
So you think if I have issues and family history, and if I'm self-pay they'll be ok with it..? I mean my BMI is 32-33, and my father had his first heart bypass when he was 45 from heart disease. I went to the doctors seminar last week and I think I'm more ready now then I was before. I guess it's all about learning how to eat small proportions.
