DFW area doctors with reasonable self pay price?

[TxJuneBug08 1]

How do I find a doctor in the DFW, Tx area that has a reasonable self pay price?

I was going to go through lapbandsoultions but their self pay is 15K. I was wanting to try to find something a little cheaper, even if it does not include fills and doctor visits for the first 2 years. Right now, I would perfer to not go to Mexico. My DH is concerned about me doing that.

Any help would be appreciated...

I am in the exact same boat. I am in the DFW area and planned to go to Mexico (actaully have surgery sceduled with Dr. Kuri in Jan) but my husband does not want me to do that so I am looking around town. I tried AIGB (Dr. Benevides) and they are $15k also. I did find out that Dr. Wade Barker is offering a holiday special right now for $9,500. I don't know much about him re the lapband (they say he has done a lot of them but I am trying to get more informaiton) but am going for a consult in a week or so. Thats the best price I could find right now and its just a bit more than Mexico once you add in the flight.

Let me know if you hear anything about him or any other "deals".

That gives me hope!!! Please let me know how your consultation goes. I'm going to try to do some research on him too.

Thanks!

Try Dr. Cribbins. Not sure what he charges. Have also heard great things about Dr. Barker.
