I paid 9,000 plus airfare for two so around 10,000. Fills will be $450 where I live so its still adding up but worth every penny!!

I went to Mexico and paid for my band and I do not regret it for a moment. I have a fill doctor here and he's the greatest and I pay nothing there either, why? I don't know, I guess it's how they word the claim papers. I started out paying $25 - $50 for the office visit but now nothing, I am happy about that.

I have really good insurance through my employer, and they allow WLS where there is a diagnosis of MO -- united health care -- and I didn't have to pay one thin dime.

[Guest BIG-G4NOW]

$16,300 for surgery and $100.00 per fill. My employer doesn't pay for any weight loss services.

Oh well it's the best $17,000.00 I have ever spent!

I paid $12,500 for mine! Worth the $$!

I won't get banded till next Wed, but all I pay is $20 for office visits. Nothing for surgery or tests. United Health Care. Thank you Lord!

i voted, and paid $6500, with airfare and one fill so far, the total is $6738.00. not bad, but keeping fingers crossed nothing goes wrong.

$14,000 cash - includes 1 year of fills/visits! If I lose 100 pounds, that will be $140 per pound - well worth it in my book!!

Self-pay, $18,900 (gulp!!). Included: psychiatric group (bi-monthly), support group (monthly), unlimited nutritionist visits & quarterly visits with a physical therapist as well as unlimited fills for the first year.

We may have gotten ripped off, I try not to think about it. So far I've been really, really happy with the team spirit.
