Cheaper US Lapbanding for self pay!



Recommended Posts

Dr. David Melniczek in Denver does the surgery for $9000 (I think it's 10K, but a 1K discount when cash is paid up front.) He does surgery in Lakewood, Co. The first three months of fills are included in the price of surgery and are $150 or $200 after that. I'm not sure, I haven't paid for one yet.

After care with him is personable. He is pretty easy to contact, I have his email and his cell phone number. He calls me from time to time to check on me.

do you have a hard time finding someone in the US to do your fills if you have lap band in Mexico?

Dr. Steven Tersigini in Coos Bay Oregon has lowered his prices again back to 10,000.00 He was always 10,000 but then the clinic where he did his surgeries raised their price to him, so he went up to 12,500.00

Today I saw his nurse and she said that he is lowering it back to 10,000 so more people can afford lap band surgery.

Hello. I am thinking about having Dr. Tace Curry w/ JourneyLite do my surgery. He is located in Cincinnati, but I understand that there are several other JourneyLite locations. The cost for the procedure is $12999 and that includes everything plus 1 year of fills.

I'd like info on a reasonably priced surgeon in VA. I would travel 3 hours or so to NC or Washington DC if I found a Dr with a good rep for banding at a great price. Any suggestions?

      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.
