Lap Band for $10,000.00



Recommended Posts

I was seriously considering Dr. Wade Barker in Dallas for my lap-band because of his reputation and he had a special for $10,000.00. I called today to get info on the surgery and they are no longer offering that special. Does anyone out there know of a doctor in the north-east Texas area that can do it for about that same price. I finally have the money together because our insurance has an exclusion and I would like to get it done yesterday. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!! Thanks in advance!

I used Dr.Stewart in Denton (Weight Loss Specialists of North Texas) and paid 12,500.00 . With free fills the first year. He did the surgery in Dallas. Well worth the drive.

I am going to Denver Co for surgery with Dr Kirshenbaum. Flights were only 450 and lapband is only 9950 total there. (Didnt know if that was an option for you?)

Mexico, $7900 and that includes two nights in the hospital.

I'd check out Dr. Aceves in Mexicali

Dr. Rumbaut in Monterrey and

Dr. Zapata in Monterrey

All excellent surgeons.

      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.
