change4life10 1 Posted June 19, 2012 I know lapband surgerys vary in price but I'm not sure if my insurance will pay for mine and was wondering what everyone else has paid and what exactly that covers like fills, post op appoinments? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DELETE THIS ACCOUNT! 12,703 Posted June 20, 2012 Every surgeon's prices and what's included is different. You need to check with your insurance company and find out for sure if it's covered. Then, you need to attend a seminar in your area to find out costs and what is included. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
running_scared 125 Posted June 20, 2012 I paid $17,000 for surgery, all pre-op stuff, and 5 years of everything after. I've also seen some people say that their insurance was billed upwards of $30,000. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

trisket 46 Posted June 20, 2012 I went with TrueResults and it is costing me $9888. That covers all the preop, surgery, and one year of postop. After that my Dr. charges $140 for fills or if you tend to need more fills there is a montly plan for $30. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RiskyT 4 Posted June 21, 2012 My insurance doesn't cover the surgery (lapband w/plication). My doc's package plan that is all pre-op, surgery then 6 months of fills and post-op for 10,300. They always have higher prices when insurance is paying. I got approved for financing with CareCredit. Scared of the interest I'll pay but it's not gonna stop me! . It was my last resort but will be totally worth it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
