Self pay for me is $17,500. This includes hospital fees, Dr.'s fees, anestesia, counseling (pre and post-of for life), office visits, dietition and one year of fills.

It does not include lap work, ultrasounds or EKG, (my insurance covered those) The Optifast that my Dr. requires 4-6 weeks prior to surgery and three weeks post-op was also not included and costs about $11 per day. Dr. visits after one year are also not included.

I really love my Dr. and know that I am getting excellent care before and after the surgury.

mine 13,500 for everything except Optifast and a year's worth of fills. I went through carecredit to finance my band too. I got approved really fast and it is a medical credit card. I liked that idea since i figure I might want plastic surgery after I pay off the band.

Mine was $12,900 (a bargain!)

I didn't require any pre-op testing, otherwise that would have been out-of-pocket as well.

It did include surgeon's fees, hospital, anesthesia, and 1 year of fills and follow up.

Mine was 7500 but had to go to Mexico. I wanted a surgeon who'd done over 7000 of these instead of less than 100, lol. Mine was was total for everything. Housing, food, transportation, all hospital, doctor's fee's, preop, postop, and free fills for life.

Check into Dr. Trace Curry for in the states. He is fabulous. He's my fill doctor and he answers all the complications questions on here. He sure is good. I just seen him on Wednesday. He's a sweetie for sure.

I paid $15,000 in Dallas/Ft. Worth. Includes a year of follow-up and fills. Adam Smith. He's excellent.

If you need to finance, I suggest Capital One and CareCredit--both provide loans for medical.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
