Hi,

I wasn't self-pay, but I just wanted to let you know that I was banded at DayOne in Chicago and they are amazing. Dr. Galvani is great, and the entire staff is so friendly, helpful, and supportive. I would highly recommend giving them a call and talk to their financial folks about payment plan options.

Good luck!

I'm self pay too and I live in Atlanta. I'm traveling to Denver May 14th for my surgery. Dr. Gerald Kirschenbaum offers the surgery for $9950. It's anywhere from $15 to $20K here in Atlanta. Good luck!

I actually found out about Dr. K on this website. I did alot of research before making my decision. It's alot easier to get aftercare if you have your surgery in the U.S. also.

Parrothead: you should send me an email. I have found another patient of True Results in Conyers, she had her surgery about 2 months ago. Her name is "Cathy" too, lol. We should all get together sometime :glare:

I have a friend that was banded by DayOne Healh and she said they were amanzing. I am looking to get banded myself as a self pay patience but can't afford DayOne prices. The cost is about 16k ouch. If anyone can recommend someone outside the Chicago area please feel free to contact me. I am willing to travel. Thanks

The Surgical Clinic of Louisiana, which is located at West Jefferson Medical Center just outside New Orleans, offers the surgery for $10,000, which includes a year of aftercare. Beyond that, they provide excellent service. The doctors -- Dr. Todd Belott and Dr. Treen are spectacular and their support staff is outstanding, too.

I'm having surgery in Denver, CO with Dr. Kirschenbaum. He charges $9950 which includes 3 months of fills. Fills are $15 after that. I'm actually in Atlanta and plan to have my aftercare with a local doctor. My surgery is May 14th! Woohoo!

      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.
