There are at least two doctors in Colorado that will do it for under 10K. My doctor, Dr. Kirshenbaum of lapbandrockies.com is great. $9950 for everything, done in the USA - hospital, anesthesia, etc. He has done over 800 surgeries and only two slipped bands to date. Also, you get free fills for the first three months, then for a discount thereafter. Lots of information on his website.

Check out "True Results" in Dallas Texas. $9900 for cash pay and it includes one year of aftercare. I used Dr. Fox and really like him, he is strict and stays with you on your journey. All of the PA's are always talking about how Dr. Fox does things....they really respect him and how he follows up with his patients. I did have to pay for a couple of lab things at the beginning and that was about 6 or 7 hundred dollars. The procedure took place at Richardson Surgery Center...the surgery was out patient but Dr. Fox has all out of town patients to spend the night in a hotel up the street.... the hotel was included in my price.

If you would like to know anything else please PM me.

I have lost 168 lbs since January of 2000. I lost 78 lbs from January 2000 to April of 2010 on my own. I have lost 90 since my lapband surgery on April 13, 2010. I would like to lose 20 - 25 more.

Good Luck on your journey,

Stagegirl

Dr. Aguila in Tampa, Fl has a great self pay program. Around $5,000 up front and the hospital finances the remainder of the $10,650 total cost with no credit check with payments of $208 per month for 2 years. This is the best self pay arrangement in the US, as far as I can tell. He is doing my band tomorrow.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
