The eastern part of the US is the most expensive. Mexico really isn't a bad option. $7K for a band.

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.

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...

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:
