Hey there Utahns! How much does the procedure cost here in Salt Lake City? This would be cash/financing, no insurance. Thanks!

there are only 3 doctors that i know of in this state that do this surgery the one my wife and i are going to is named christina richards at salt lake regional the cost is 20,000 plus a $500 fee for the support group meetings once a month and three adjustments of the band also you need a pysch analisis from her shrink that is $175 im lucky though my health ins. does cover all but the $500 fee. call her she is so nice and has semminars to explain the whole procedure her # is 478-0010 good luck and let me know how things turn out im hoping to have mine done this month and my wife soon after.

Oh dear. I guess I'd rather have a new car and go on a liquid fast instead. Thanks for the info anyway.

It is much cheaper in Mexico. My surgery was $7500 and I could not have had better care if I was in the US.
