Every surgeon is different. Seems like average is 10-15k. Mine will be 13k with Dr Curry in Cincinnati, Ohio. Keep in mind cost of aftercare as well. My surgeon include 2 years of visits/fills, others charge 100-300 per fill/ visit etc...

Best suggestion is research surgeons in your area. Good luck!!

I meant that some charge $100-$300, not all. Just reread what I wrote...

True Results charges 9999.00 and that includes 1st year fills. I was a self pay too and they finance you, even if you have marginal credit. Now if you have a hiatal hernia they will repair that at the same time and bill your insurance for that part. Your insurance should cover that and it brought my cost down to $5,000.00

Check them out, they are all across the us.

Good luck

I was self pay and mine was $18,000.00 at Martha Jefferson Hospital in Charlottesville, Va. Included one year of fills. Then I pay $500.00 a year for follow up visits. And I go to see my doctor. I think it helps with my success.

I second what she said about True Results. I am self pay and it looks like I will be going through them. I will be traveling from Florida to TX for the surgery but it is worth it for the savings. Also, I have read so many good things about True Results... Just do a search for "True Results" and you will see.

The other thing I love about them is that someone answers the phone every time I call! They have all been nice. I have my first consultation this morning. Good Luck!

Counting everything, even all the pre op test I had to do, It was $24,000.00 That is what I spent from start to finish. I kept up with it so I could claim it on insurance .
