Hello:

Anyone mind sharing the total cost of your self-pay Lap Band?

Who performed the procedure?

My Dr. is in Aurora, Colorado. He charges roughly $9900 for the complete surgery. This includes your first consultation, preop, nutrition consultation, surgery, hospital, postop, and the first 3 months (from your surgery date) of fills are also included. After the third month he only charges $15 per fill.

If you want more information, let me know.

i went to detroit from florida and it cost me 10700 that includes the hospital and hotel transportation. I like the colorado package better.

Wow, the Colorado package is awesome. Mine is in San Antonio.. Dr. Rincon, for $12,000 for the surgery, hospital, anesthesia & 3 fills. But there was about another $1,000 in consultation, nutritionist, testing, psych eval and meds.

I flew to Mexico for my surgery. Total cost $7800 including airfair, transportation, surgery, and 1 year of fills. Dr. Rodriguez in Monterrey. I was nervous at first about going to Mexico, but the hospital was exactly like the hospitals here in the US, and everyone was super nice.

Dr. Daly in Atlanta was $14,500 including surgery/outpatient surgery center (it would have been about $3k more for hospital), and I get a year of follow up/fills included. I was VERY happy I had it close to home although I considered going to Mexico. But with 2 small children at home, I wanted to be as close as possible. I also had a great surgery.

Thanks everyone for chiming in with this info. I actually called Dr. K's office in Colorado today - sweet deal for sure & Natalie is so very nice. However, they don't accept Care Credit.

I am trying to find a place closer at a low rate (or, as close to that as possible). I am going to call more places tomorrow. Again, thanks and I appreciate all responses received.

I went to Calexico Mexico to have my surgery with Dr. Alberto Aceves. Everything far exceeded my expectation for my surgery in Mexico. The total cost was $7500 including my flight to and from San Diego, pre-op & post-op test, 1 night hotel stay two night hospital stay and the surgery. I also went to the Dentist while in Mexico got two cavities fixed, teeth cleaned and whiten for 300 bucks or 3000 pesos which ever way you look at it...:thumbdown:

LapSF charges 14000 for a band and that includes a certain amount of follow-up (I'm not sure how much though -- probably 1 or 2 years). It should also include the psych consult and the nutritional evaluation. They have a counselor and dietician on staff -- you can use them pre-op and then use them post-op too if you need extra help.

$17,500 Louisville KY, Dr Lusco....wow looks like they are on the high side:ohmy:

I have been quoted 13,500 at Journey for Life. With Dr. Collier, Houston, Texas. This includes 1 year follow ups with nuritionist, dr visit, and refills for life. I haven't done it yet but I have been approved with Care Credit which they do take and I believe they have offices around the country.
