A self-pay patient

I am a self-pay patient and have been researching Doctors for the lap band. Does anyone have input on The Institute for Advanced Bariatric Surgery in Lenexa KS? Amanda

I have attended 2 of their seminars. The biggest thing they don't tell you is that they charge extra for the fills and post-op care. The $13,500 price quote is only for the pre-tests and the surgery. I know the fills are $175-$200 each time...

Your price quote for fills is off. Please get the right info before you start quoting it to people. Non-Fluro done in the office are $75 and Fluro Fills are $175.

I was a self pay patient at IaBs in lenexa. they are very upfront about the costs. I had two fills and I am where I need to be. I would highly recommend them. jen

I was a self pay patient of Dr. Kaniewski's here and the prices were given to me upfront. A year of regular office visits is included in the price but fills are extra. Non-fluro fills are $75 and fluro fills are $175. They also have a 'point' system where you earn points for attending meetings, having surgery, recommending people for surgery, giving testimonials, etc and you can use these points for free fills, vitamins or even plastic surgery later. I LOVE MY SURGEON and her staff!!!
