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.

Mine was $13,500 base price, plus about $200 miscellaneous. I'm not counting my new juicer - a great buy for the liquids stage and post-fills.

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.
