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).
