Self Pays -- How much did you pay?



Recommended Posts

I paid $12,500 for everything here in Houston but my doctor is retired. I used 2 interest free credit cards and paid it off in 1 year. When interest free runs out transfer to another interest free credit card.

Kansas, $11,999.00 w/ 1 year fills and appointments. Everything included except the head doc eval. :D Went to him not for cost so much but because his seminar was so good and he lets you know he is the best. Of course I will know more once I actually get there on the 20th, saw him yesterday for my pre op appointment.

I paid $14,000 on 1/31/10, but of course a year later they have a special now for $9900. This is in So. Cal

They have offices in Beverly Hills and San Dimas.

I am just getting started and am looking at going to the same place. My insurance covers it except I have a $4900 deductible and then 10% copay after that.

When do they start charging you?

Please let me know your experiences as all other people I know went to Malley.

I paid 5,000 US for my band in Korea. Though getting the band abroad might not seem like a good idea I live here so it just made sense.

Yes I'll be moving out of here sooner or later but 5,000 is a whole lot better then 20,000 I'd probably pay in Canada

I live in Az and went through TrueResults. I had a hiatal hernia that insurance covered, but they wouldn't cover the band. So they billed the insurance company for the hernia repair and I paid $5,500 for the band and a year of after care. I started looking at there company and 30 days later I had the surgery.

      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.
