I Am From Toronto Canada And I Am Wondering What It Would Cost To Have This Procedure Done In New York, Buffalo Ect.?

It Costs 16,000 Here And I Would Love To Have It Done But I Do Not Know How I Would Be Able To Afford It.

Totally depends on what each surgeon charges. In my area (SE Michigan) I've seen $19,000 packages and $12,900 packages within an hour's drive. Believe it or not, the $12,900 surgeon is one of the more experienced around here. You may wish to yahoo or google "lapband" and "NY surgeons" and check their sites for costs.

Maybe look through the threads in the New York forum?

Welcome Morganmom. Have you considered Mexico? I paid about $7000 plus another $650 for the flight. I get my fills done up here in Vancouver.

I suggest spending some time in the Doctors and Hospitals threads. You might find what you need.

All the best and good luck with your decision.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
