THE COST

Hi name is lashunta and i am going to be moving to louisiana to the grambling or baton rouge areas, i haven;t decided. my question is has anyone paid out of pocket for this surgery and if yes how much does it cost. also anyone with insurance not from there employer, how much it cost and what are some of the requirments. thanks in advance for the answers.

I am trying to save for WLS and the program I found through the Surgical Specialists of Louisiana. You should look up their website by doing a web search of that name and you'll find that this program is a good deal. I am half-way to my goal of saving and I hope to have the surgery by the end of the year. My insurance does not pay for the surgery, but will pay for the labwork and other costs, so I am going to take advantage of that. Paying for non-job health insurance is expensive. Other programs that I have priced are betwen $17,000 and $49,000. I cannot afford that. call the surgical specialists of LA and they will explain the program I am referring to. I don't want to give you wrong information, so contact them and they will eplain everything.

Here is a heads up you guys. St. Vincent Bariatric Center Litttle Rock, AR the cash price for Roux en Y is $14,200. That is the price that I paid for my surgery on March 31 of this year. Great doctors and a great office staff. If you need more info email me.
