Dr. Tiffany Jessee charges $15,800 as an all inclusive price. It includes the pre-op work-up, surgery and after care for a year. She also takes insurance. She does the procedure as an outpatient in Tampa and has office in Tampa now too. She also does the procedure in the hospital. She is the most caring doc you will ever meet. Plus she is an awesome surgeon. She is no longer with JourneyLite, so you can call 1-866-440-HOPE.:tt2:

I don't know much about the doctor or the pricing but I will be attending the information lecture next Tuesday at Jupiter Medical Center with Dr. Jefferson Vaughan.

I had my surgery done at JFK Medical Center in Palm Beach County, FL, by Dr. Andrew Larson. My insurance paid 80%, and I know they have financing for self pays. So far, I am happy with the doctor and the staff. Had surgery July 9th, and my first fill August 18th.

I have never waited more than 15 minutes at Dr. Larson's office. I love Kendra, who I believe is the Nurse Manager, and Patricia, Dr. Simon's nurse (Simon does the gastric bypass and assists Larson with the bands and Larson assists Simon, so you have 2 surgeons working on you.)

I guess we all just have different experiences. For me, the bottom line is this: There are only a handfull of doctors doing this in Palm Beach County, and I have heard mostly good things about all of them. For me, it was a matter of insurance, and I am much closer to JFK if I have a problem than I am to Jupiter.

      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.
