Cheaper US Lapbanding for self pay!



Recommended Posts

;) Hi all!

I was wondering if we could start a thread for self pays looking for a us surgeon to be banded. I am open to Mexico and am leaning toward Dr. Gonzales for sure but am open to us doctors. So if you know what the cost is could we maybe put the city in title and the docs info inside. You know surgury cost, fills, basic info.:help:

I am hoping this will make it easier to wade thru the postings to find the costs.:faint:i am hoping to be banded right after the 1st of the year! Hurrah!

I SAW KEITH MCEWEN MD. INDIANA. I TRAVEL SO FOR ME INDIANA WAS AS GOOD AS ANYWHERE. IT WAS $14500 WITH A FEW ADJUSTMENTS. NOT IN A HOSPITAL A SURGERY SUITE....IT WAS LIKE A HOTEL. NICE NURSES. THE PRICE OF ADJUSTMENTS ARE REASONABLE. BUT HE IS USING NEWER BANDS....MAYBE LESS ADJUSTING. I HAD MY FIRST FILL. STARTED AT 340 READY TO BREAK 300. IT HAS BEEN GREAT SO FAR.

Dr. Gerald Kirshenbaum in Aurora Colorado is the cheapest and best surgeon in the nation. His price is $9,950.00 it is his all inclusive price. He has a great reputation. Visit him at Lap Band Surgery in Denver Colorado | Lap Band Surgeon in Denver | Gastric Band Surgery Denver | Bariatric Surgery . His Bariatric Coordinator is also a Lap-Band patient.

If you mention wanting to know the next seminar time at Dr. Kirshenbaum's office when you call for the appointment, they will give you a $75 discount and your consultation is free. They are no longer doing the seminars.

Does anyone know of an affordable dr in Maryland for self pay? It seems the going rate is $15,000-$17k. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanx

      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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
