bariatric surgeon in Indiana area

realestatedinn · June 18, 2008

I am looking for a surgeon that will accept cash patient at a discounted price.

My health insurance will ''not'' cover any bariatric surgeries.

Can anyone give me any advice regarding good surgeons i the Indiana area. I live in Westfield, Indiana...Thanks!

I had my surgery done in Noblesville with Indiana Obesity Center-

Dr. Keith McEwen. He is an awesome Dr. and has performed the most lap Band surgerys in Indiana. I would highly recomend him, I also paid cash.

Kristi,

Thanks for the information. I went to the website and printed out the registration forms. His fee is $17,000.00.

Is that approximately what you paid?

I had a counsel with Dr. Margaret Inman at St. Vincents in May and their fee with or without insurance is $26,000.00.

I have various health issues and need to lose approximately 60/70 pounds. I work in Noblesville so Dr. McEwen's office would be very close.

When did you have your surgery and how are you doing?

Dr McEwen is usually about $16500.00 sometimes if you are healthy $15500.00. Total out patient. You can see he is the only surgeon flagged on the www.lapband.com site for performance. I paid cash and it was $16500.00 then but my friend had hers more recent and was $15700.00

Banded in 2007- 90 off:) No problems:thumbup:
