WASaBubbleButt 41 Posted October 29, 2008 Can anyone give me the name of a low cost , but good surgeon in the eastern part of the US? I dont want to go to Mexico, Thanks The eastern part of the US is the most expensive. Mexico really isn't a bad option. $7K for a band. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Candle 11 Posted October 30, 2008 There's a long thread here about Dr Kirshenbaum. He's in CO and I think charges under $10k. I don't know of anyone on the east coast. That's probably going to be tough to find. I was researching when I was worried about my insurance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hikerchik 0 Posted October 31, 2008 Thanks for the info. I will look for that thread. As of now. Cigna will not pay, and I will have to pay 20 grand! At least that is 7 grand cheaper than another well known Doctor nearby... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
busocore 0 Posted November 1, 2008 my first post. 12,500 dollars. Doctors Haag and Fiallo of pioneer valley surgical associates (Pioneer Valley Surgical Associates, P. C.) are offering gastric banding surgery at Noble hospital in Westfield Massachusetts. This includes all surgical fees and 1 year of fills. Dr. Haag was the first to do lap banding in western massachusetts as well as the the first to do Realize banding. They are both great doctors. They have a huge experience with banding and bypass surgery. They are always available 24/7. They have a great office staff and an actual human answers your phone calls Good Luck:wink_smile: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
