I would say that is a pretty steep bill myself. That is actually outrageous! I had 2 stents placed in August and my bill was over $40,000 to. I was really shocked. I hope you have insurance is all I can say!

Dr. Adams in Decatur, Alabama has a self-pay price of $11,600 which includes everything for 1 year. This includes the hospital portion and the anesthesiologist.

I'm self pay and paying $8K for Dr. Ortiz in Mexico. That includes 2 nights at a hotel and a ride from and back to the San Deigo airport. That doesn't include the plane ticket or fills. I will probably have my first fill there, but I'm looking at other options closer to home for long term fills.

I just got this bill from Medical City in Dallas and this does not include the surgens costs. $44,775.00

:omg:

2 units supply/implants $23,567.00 -I thought they just put in one lap-band, I must have 2.

Two separate Dr.'s told me that that band itself is a $3000.00 piece of equiptment. WHERE is the other $20,000.00 going???

That is a CRAZY bill. Are you sure you just had lapband surgery?? If I had a bill like that, I'd want to wake up with the Tummy Tuck and new set of perky D cups to boot!

Dr. Kirshenbaum - $9950.00 and it was awesome!

I paid cash in Los Angeles. $9000 to the hospital (outpatient) and $5600 to Dr. Paya. His bill includes all followup visits - FOREVER!

I would pay it again and again for all the great attention and, of course, weight loss. Dr. Paya does all his own fills and because he is a general surgeon as well, he was able to take out my gallbladder last week (insurance covered).

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
