marie1234 0 Posted May 2, 2008 Any one from North Carolina? I would like to know your doctor and price of surgery. Dr. Moran and Rex Hospital in Raleigh charge $24,000 with one yr of fills. This is almost $10,000 more than some. I may have to self pay. Any suggestions? or know of another doctor in NC that is not $24,000? Please let me know! Thanks.

Claudine1975 0 Posted May 2, 2008 Try Dr. Enochs in Raleigh/Cary area. I went to a seminar last Thursday and overheard a conversation between a self pay person and the person in the office and she said it was about $18000 to $20000. I know that is not that much cheaper. But it is a start. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marie1234 0 Posted May 2, 2008 I was just looking at his website. What bothers me the most is the unknown future. When you are self pay any thing that is related to the band is a cost to you....like surgery to repair band slippage or if it had to be removed. It is a little scary. I wouldn't mind it as much if I could find it a little cheaper. Ya know? Thanks for your reply. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wrestlersmom 0 Posted May 3, 2008 GO with ENOCH..Dont go with Moran....Trust me my girlfriend was using Moron then switched to Enoch and everything has gone fast and great for her..... Dont worry about tomorrows.. Dont worry about slippage.. If you do then you wont have this operation.. Check out how many problems have come from lapband.. The % is very low.. We can all have problems with anything... But God wants us to live for today.. It's how I need to live or I will overrun my brain and always worry about this or that...Handle a problem when it comes .. Hope this advise helped... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ready to Lose 0 Posted May 5, 2008 Hi, I don't know what part of N.C. you are located....but I used Dr. Voellinger. He is in Charlotte. Not sure about the $. I was one of the lucky ones (insurance covered) Good luck!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MacBand 0 Posted May 8, 2008 Check out Dr. Enochs at surgerync.com. He is truly the best, he trained Dr. Moran. He did my surgery 2 months ago and I feel wonderful, plus his staff is great! Just attend his seminar, you'll see! Best wishes! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
