Self-Pay in Hampton Roads area.



Recommended Posts

Hello. I live in the Hampton Roads part of Virginia and I have decided to pay out of pocket for lap-band surgery as my insurance will not pay. Any information would be helpful for the total cost of the surgery preferably in the state of Virginia. Thank you.

Just a thought. I flew from NC to Denver to have Dr. Kirshenbaum do my surgery. It was less than $10,000 and I only had to go to Denver once. No pesky psych evaluations and nonsense like that. He is fantastic too.

I go to the wlsc of hampton roads and had surgery on June 25th. You pay a $750 program fee, and my surgery was $18,400, including the hospital and all care there as an outpatient.

Good Morning, I was self pay too. I paid $16,750, (I think that's what it was, it's been almost 4 years), which included overnight hospital stay and a year of fills..withOUT flouro. All fills by WLSHR is now done under flouro. Now the surgery is done as an outpatient.

Did I mention, I love my band :tongue_smilie:.

So if it is now outpatient, meaning no overnight, wouldn't it be a little bit cheaper?? I am waiting to love my band! :tongue_smilie:

LOL, you'd THINK SO, that it would be cheaper, but not according to Donna.

Keep us informed, and best of luck to you.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
