  1. Hello, I will most likely self-pay and I have called a few offices, looks like $13K from one and $35K from another. Any recommendations? I'm in Santa Cruz so southbay or Monterey is best for me. Thanks!

    Bay Area Self-Pay Costs?

    Thanks for the input guys. I decided to go see Dr. McKeen and am now in month 2 of my 6 months supervised diet. He said that considering my insurance plan and clearly documented weight related problem with BMI 35%+, insurance coverage should be a no-brainer. So hopefully the few months extra waiting will net ~$10K savings. :tt1: I also can see why some of you seem to like him so much, seems like a very nice guy.

    Who did you tell/talk to before

    I thought about this too, and I will tell my family members beforehand and that's it. If anyone asks me afterwards if I had any "work" done, then I will tell them honestly. But I don't see myself volunteering the information. Not because I'm ashamed or anything, just that I believe that surgery is a private matter.

    Anyone here get their Lap Band in Mexico?

    Hey, I'm in month 2 as well. Just reading other posts, it seems like lots of people have been happy with their Mexi-bands. I seriously considered it but will probably do it locally whether or not my insurance comes through, only because I like the idea of the doc being "on the hook" if there are any issues.

    "What happened to all the nice guys?"

    Sorry but I can't get behind your rant. There is a difference between platonic and physical relationships. You were physically unattractive to that person. Her choice and whether or not you agree there is nothing wrong with that. You need to drop all the bitterness displayed in your post and move on.
