:blink:OK my Brothers and Sisters in Arm Flaps...:wink2:
I am a patient of Dr. Vaughn. I am awaiting a call today for my surgery date. I am being Banded. I have been arguing with Insurance for MONTHS. If you heard that anyone will work with you on this, they are lying. It is 17,800.00 at Jupiter Medical center, plain and simple. IF you are lucky enough to have the few insurances that do cover it... make sure you have all of your ducks in a row. They will still make jump through hoops to get a Cert # for the surgery. If you choose to finance it, remember, it is like getting a care loan.. only they cannot repossess your band... they can just put a lein on everything you own until you pay it.
If you have questions, please feel free to write and I will try to answer back asap.
