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?

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.

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.

Thank you that helps. I am gonna wait on my insurance just want to know kinda what to expect if it doesn't cover it.

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.

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!
