sorry I didn't read it all. You're waiting on approval so you must have a doctor...that was a silly ? on my part

Hi. I work in Athens, live in Belpre. I go this weekend (3/15) for my info session with Dr. Kaplan in Parkersburg. They are doing the band now at Camden Clark in Parkersburg. I'm not sure what the price is there. I'll be using my insurance. I am debating on having it done local in Parkersburg or going to OSU. How did you choose your physician? Was it based on the price? Thanks. =)

hi it's Carol from Athens. I have been researching this for several years. Around 5 years ago i tried to get RNY bypass but my insurance co turned me down 2x because i had not been overweight by 100 lbs. for 5 years. I had insurance that covered WLS. Now I have insurance but it includes WLS. So price was very large consideration. I have gone to presentations for Cinn. Weight Loss Center and Holzer but they wanted like $16K and $18k respecctively. I saw ad for Dr. Trace Curry near Cincinnati. I told them I had researched and gone to 2 presentations so I could skip theirs. I had appt. 2/28 and am scheduled for surgery on April 8. I was very very impressed with Dr. Curry and his staff (almost all of his staff have had the surgery) and the one that I have talked to the most has not but I try not to hold that against her...she's actually awesome. Dr. Curry was very personable and answered all my questions. If I had insurance I may have gone to Dr. Curry anyway.

that's way more than you probably wanted to hear. And the $12.5 K price includes 2 years of fills.

Hey, I just ran across this thread - sorry, I'm a little slow. I was banded @ Holzer by Dr. Grandia. He is absolutely fabulous and his bed-side manner is top-notch. I would recommend him to anyone. I've only met Dr. Canady in passing, but I hear he's very good as well. Good luck with your surgery.
