I did RNY and it was covered by insurance.  I have a friend who was interested in Lap Band, it would be out of pocket for her.  I was wondering what the going rate in Minnesota is for this procedure.

Hi to all of you who migh remember me.  Doing well. Struggling with a ton of kidney stones, which is most likely from the RNY 2 1/2 yrs ago, but I lost over 150 lbs and have kept it off.  So all is well.

Thanks!

Good Morning!

I am self pay and when researching a couple of years ago, they told me to expect about $20K. That was a good estimate. I had RNY, but they included all types of surgeries into that estimate. The best thing to do is go to an info meeting and ask the question. I actually went to 3 info meetings at 3 different hospitals and got the same answer. 

Peace!
